The project we’ve been working on for a while is studio portraits that would be accepted in the real world for professional purposes. Kibbee Walton from Artisan Portrait ( http://artisanportrait.com ) came in and taught us how to use the lights in our class’s studio, and also gave us tips on taking portraits outside, like senior portraits. So he’d be the inspiration for these pictures since he taught us what to do to get these photos to turn out well.  The first picture just has a soft light box on the subject, which obviously makes the picture too dark.

In the next picture, we added a fill light behind the subject to show on the background along with the soft light, showing on the face. I think the fill lights give the pictures more edge because of the color mixtures within the picture.

This third picture has the soft light, the fill light, and a light box behind the subject, so the face isn’t completely covered with dim light or no light at all. I think this picture turned out the most decent and the light just keeps getting better and better.

Now in this last picture, we have ourselves a soft light, a fill light, the light box behind, and a reflector on the side. All the light makes the flyaway hairs only more noticeable, but not as wild like in the previous photos.
