Ex 3.7: Hollywood portrait



Part B: Without lights


There are plenty of Hollywood images to choose from. Pick one that you enjoy and can re-create using window light and a small amount of bounced flash. You’ll need a suitable model, preferably someone who is prepared to enter into the spirit of the task!

The first thing to do is analyse the lighting. Where is it coming from? Look for the deepest shadows for the main light. Then make your own lighting diagram and produce a Hollywood- style set of portrait images.

Produce three images in black and white – 10x12” or A4 at 320 dpi. 



I think these are great images of Kelsey and we had a great rapport between us.  They were taken with a neutral background beside a plain window to get some great modelling light on her face and saxaphone.
