Wednesday's Lab

Looks like you've had a lot of fun in the studio, for the most part. What I'm seeing are poses and candids without the finesse of modeling using key and fill exposures to create proper Rembrandts with long loop shadows and triangle highlights. Keep in mind, as well, that Glamor lighting, while it's attractive and easy, doesn't lend itself to every face type.

I'm also looking for perfection in both exposure and clarity. You all have devices that allow you this level of perfection, use them, use power and tools accordingly. I'm not seeing this, yet.

So, for Wednesday, I'm posting this assignment to get you beyond the fun of working in three-point lighting, challenging you to create work that falls into professional paradigms:

You're to complete the assignment of creating a portrait using three-point lighting to create a Rembrandt and a glamor image. You can find the rubric here.

One aspect of the rubric is to demonstrate your use of the inverse square law. Read about that here in preparation for  Wednesday's lab in the studio.
