Studio Lighting
For this situation I used artificial lighting in the studio, I had my subject sit in front of me in the same height chair as me because I wanted the camera angle to be straight on instead of having the camera upwards. The back lights were the same distance from the subject and 4 feet away from the back wall to create the white background in the image. I had someone to hold up the front lighting above my head so that there would be no glare in the subjects glasses. The gold reflector was used in this but I wish that i didn't use it because now looking back at the photos the subject looks to lit, so iIwould of liked to maybe use the white reflector instead especially since there was a lot of lighting used. The camera was vertical because since the background would be white I wanted to focus more on the subject. I was trying to make the subject to laugh and be happy while I was taking her picture because i wanted the expression on her face to be genuine instead of putting on a fake smile.
Open Shade
This picture was shot outside in the shade of the building using natural lighting, both of us sat down on the ground but this time the camera angle was a bit higher so in the picture the subject is giving more attention to the camera. A white reflector was used to brighten up her face and to give a nice finish to her. I had her sit a couple feet away from the wall so that there could be a bit of depth of field and not have to be crisp as the the attention is on the model.
Open Shade
I took another picture in open shade but this time I had the camera in landscape because I really wanted to get her hair in the shot flowing in the wind. A gold reflector was used for this image but I wish I used a white reflected instead because I feel like the gold is overpowering her skin tone.
Again she is sitting far away from the walls because I want her to be the most in focus. I was able to make a few jokes that made her laugh, so in this picture I was able to capture a genuine smile from her.
