10s Studio Portraits

Light Source
One of the most important things of a good light source is its size. This determines what type of shadows you are going to have and also affects the type of reflection
Small light sources will produce a hard edged shadow, large light sources will produce a soft edged shadow.
Take as an example the most important light source in our life, the SUN. In a nice bright day with no clouds the sun will act as a small light source. On the other hand when it is a cloudy day the clouds will act as diffuser and the light source will not arrive from a direct single point but will be diffused through the clouds thus becoming a large light source and therefore producing soft edged shadows.

Lighting Angles
A person looking at an object sees each point of that object at a slightly different angle. If we sum up all these angles we would have a family of angles. The family of angles is very important thing to master as a photographer because it determines where we can place or where we cannot place our lights.
For this Studio Portrait Assignment, you are going to work with three basic lighting angles: Hatchet/Side Lighting, Rembrandt, and Glamour/Butterfly lighting. Below is an example of a Rembrandt Lighting set-up:
Find an example of each in your journal. Explain how the lighting set up is arranged to create this effect.
