Instruction

Find a subject matter that you're interested in and take 5 pictures as a series. Afterwards, print it out in  8x10 and 5x7 with white boarders. When its ready, submit it in an A4 clear book. 

My Subject Matter - Hands

• There is this huge interest of mine to be able to capture hand movements. As the hand's bone structures is intricate enough to allow different kinds of gesture. And this series tries to capture the movement of hands. 

Reflection

Main point of this exercise is to apply everything that we've learned so far into a picture. It took me quite some time to finish this series. Too much time perhaps. Nonetheless. This will be my Final Project.

Lecture
So for this post I'll be elaborating about lights that people normally use for a studio shoot.

Lets start with

• Main Light - A primary light. Whenever you're shooting a still life or a person. Remember to put up this light first as it lightens most part of the image

• Fill Light - Relieve the shadow area from the main light which will reduce the contrast. Can Produce details in shadow areas, and will also be a reflector bouncing of the main light

• Rim Light - Produce silhouettes around the object which will reveal its shape. 

• Hair Light - Its obviously for the hair. To lighten up and give texture to the hair.

Exercise

So, we where told to choose 1 studio picture in between the 40s and 50s. We have to imitate everything, the lights, the pose, the clothes and even the make up. So, my task is to shoot a picture of my friend, using the lights that we've learned earlier. Check it out below.

It was a rainy day, so I decided to snap some shots of the rain. It was quite difficult from what I expected it to be. Nonetheless, I tried my best.

Maybe I'll try to take more pictures of the rain in the future. Hope it'll turn out like what I expected.
