Cadence was my lucky model for my first Lighting assignment! She did great considering she wasn't feeling very well. She is such a good kid! She didn't get into anything and was very careful around the lights. It was so fun since she is just plain silly most of the time!
There were four lights involved in this assignment: the Key light (main light), the Fill light (to soften the shadows from the Key light), the background light, and a hair light (keeps the hair from getting lost in shadow or the background.
The background is actually just black paper. We draped a blue gel over the light and then metered the background to match our aperture (exposure). That gave us this lovely medium blue. If we had wanted it lighter we could have upped the light coming from the background light or used less light to to get a much darker blue. Very cool thing since it means you can have all kinds of colors without having a million different backdrops. Just a bunch of gels! Totally fun!
Enjoy!
