Digital Photojournalism: March 2016

You've had the luxury of shooting in a studio with an illumination design created for you. Shooting in the field, you won't have that luxury. This assignment is asking you to create a feature portrait using existing lighting to create Rembrandt and glamor modeling.

To do this, use light from a northern exposed window as your key, providing a constant exposure. Use some kind of bounce to fill the shadow side of your subject. Model their lighting to find the character of your subject either through Rembrandt or glamor technique.
