- Backcombed in sections and hair sprayed so that the hair had a wet look and was combed backwards so that the hair was off of the face.

For the image on the left we kept the light in the same position however we positioned my body so that i was facing the light on the wall, this made my skin and the colours of the image a lot brighter, however if we were doing this again i would get my hair back off my face to see the real difference.

The image on the right was using the same light but it was pointed close to us on the wall, this really brightened up the image maybe almost too much, but this can be edited in post production. We also used a white light reflector in this image which is probably why it was a lot brighter.


I think going onto next week using the beauty lens and finding a light that is low key and soft but also captures the colours and shadows within the makeup will be our task. I think that for a first lighting test shoot this went really well and we all learnt a lot from it. Recognising the difference in brightness from using a light reflector and also the way in which the light is positioned can affect the image a lot.
