Light & Lighting

The light in this image is artificial, just a small amount of light possibly from a single lamp off to the side of the subject. A soft diffused light creating a warm light. This image makes me feel curious as to what exactly is on this young man’s mind, pondering life and his future perhaps?

The lighting in this image is also an artificial light, a very bright cold light, and lots of it. Straight on to the subject, the reflection gleaming in her eyes making it apparent they really wanted a well-lit pic. Youth and innocence are what this image screams at me.

The light in this image is natural warm undiffused sunlight. My guess is late afternoon when the sun is a little lower in the sky, casting light roughly from a 45degree angle onto the back of the subjects. The shadow from the trees and the light bouncing off the top give it that mystical feeling, along with the girls and their bubbles, it has a really playful happy feel to this image.

The light in this image is heavily diffused by the clouds. My only guess here is the sun is overhead. It has a cold look to it and the water has an even amount of highlights. I straight away think winter and cold.

The lighting in this image is very warm and clearly artificial. The additional lights in the background help separate the subject from the background. Her expression and the ambience of this image really depict sorrow and heartache.

The lighting in this image is a little tricky. We have warm natural sunlight on the side of her face but the rest is artificial light. A strobe from the front and a red gelled light from the back. This image has a very artsy feel to it, each to their own interpretation.

This image is natural sunlight. Warm, but only a small amount coming in down from the window. Just enough to light the subject and facial features and capture the inquisitiveness of this young human.

This image is natural warm light from the sun, directly in front on the horizon. It displays a great colour contrast. A little diffused by cloud and the horizon itself creates a nice ambience and slight vignette. The road before you, the sun on the horizon, makes me feel adventurous.
