Studio lighting

For this task we were given the below equipment to work with.

The items used to control the lighting in the studio which i have shown above are;

White reflective card

Black card

Gold/silver reflective disc

Diffuser

Black paper - snoot

Tungsten light, stand and dish

Tripod

Light table

Cannon 550D


The aims of these tasks were to help our undertanding of using light within a studio working with still life objective.

This image shows the bottle with only the tungsten light acting on it.

 

The image to the left shows us using a black card to observe the differences between using white, black and no card.

In the  image on the right we have introduced a white card. You can see from this image that the white card reduces the shadow on the side of the bottle by adding light from its relection as well as making the bottle brighter.

In the image to the left we have made a snoot to direct the beam of light onto the bottle.

This image is very dark, due to the concentration of light into one beam.

To make the image on the left brighter we used used the same snoot but added a white piece of card to reflect more light onto the bottle and make the image brighter.












The image below shows us using a gold reflector. This reflector added gold light onto the left side of the bottle and gives the bottle a golden tint.

 

The image to the right we created by using a snoot to direct light to one spot within the image.

The above image which we took demonstrates perfectly the differences when the image has a reflector is added to it.
