Project - Light

Natural light is needed for this next part of the course and I'm to avoid on camera flash which I don't like using as I find it too harsh and makes the image look too flat....sometimes. Although I do have a reflector, which I've not put to much use until now, I'll try to find a use for in in the next exercise.

The face and head are highly responsive to changes in the quality of light. A face has several important planes that can catch or block the light, at times casting some key area (especially the eyes) into shade, and at times casting shadows that confuse the composition (especially the nose). There is, therefore, a big difference in effect between sunlight and shade.
