Project 3: XROMA

For this project, I knew I wanted to use color gels to cast color onto my model, but I also chose to use the pink seamless in the studio to see how the two colors would interact with and play off each other. I also layered two color gels over each other to create a richer, deeper reddish-purple shade. The most successful images, in my opinion, were the ones where the seamless reflects multiple shades of colors. I really like the high contrast between the shadows and highlights as well.

Task 3: Lighting Ratios

For this task, we set up two lights shining onto the model. One light (the fill light) was kept at a steady reading of 4, while the other was (the key light) decreased in between shots to create the ratios.

This photo had a 1:1 ratio, with each light set at 4.

For this photo, the key light was decreased to 3 while the fill light stayed at 4. 

For this photo, the key light was decreased to 2 while the fill light stayed at 4.

For this photo, the key light was decreased to 1 while the fill light stayed at 4.

For this photo, the fill light stayed at 4, but the key light was completely off.
