Lighting Studio Images

I have put each of my final 3 images on here and I will evaluate each one and say what I don't like about it and what I do. I am starting off with my lighting studio project where I decided to really go for it and do a naked photo shoot looking at body form and natural body shapes. I wanted to use something really based around the lights as it was my first time in the lighting studio. I chose 3 images for my final project and they are belwo. I also have more that I will add in later that didn't make the final 3.




This photo above is probably my favorite from the whole photo shoot. I'm not sue why but I just love the body shape and the detail on the body and the ribcage. It might be visually boring and plain but I love the cropping of the image, and just how natural the photo is. The lighting was a 1:3 ratio key light being around a f18, its brighter then others but having Photoshop has allowed me to alter the brightness and tone it down and add contrasts into the photo. I had once again taken most of the colour out because overall it looks better and more professional.



This image above is an image I have put with the 2 photos below, I really love the lighting on the image and the shading and how the lights have just lit areas around the ribs giving that really lovely bone effect. What I also love about this image is the backbone you can just see down the back of the model, I wanted the achieve really natural shapes and I had a naturally skinny, flexible person who worked great in this shoot, I am really pleased with this image, its simple ut very effective.


This image Is my least favorite out of the 3 but I still like the image, i find it really interesting, you and get to see the opposite side of the shape and see all the different lumps and bumps of the body and i love the way the light has picked these up. I think the colour of the slightly black and with images has worked really well and I'm really happy with the results of these images.



This photo above is also a favorite of mine. I think the lighting has worked perfectly and has highlighted the right areas but darkened the areas such as the back. I think on this photo they lighting was perfect and is exactly what I wanted to achieve. I used two lights, the key light to the right, with a f11 and the key light a f5'6. I think i could have just made the key light slightly softer giving the arms and hands a slightly softer edge, but I quite like the detail on the hands and arms. I have photo shopped this image and desaturated the image to give it that more interesting contrast look.

Overall I am so happy with these images, I know there simple but I really love them and I'm really proud of the turnout.
