I set up the scene in my room, it is for creating different lighting. Since Melissa and I couldn't use the studios in the Culture and Art Centre(we have to book it before), it is not very professional.
I used my bed for the scene, and the subjects I choose for lighting are these two bolsters. My room have one window and two doors, which can create three different directions of light. In this picture, the light is from the window on the right of the bolsters (the other two directions of light I have covered by curtains,as the curtains can completely cover the lights from outside). Therefore, the light on the two bolsters is brighter on the right.
And in this picture, I change the direction of light to the right corner. The shadow of the bolsters can show the direction of the light.
And this time, I change to the left. But the light is quite far away so it seems to be quite dark. Well, I think we can still see where the light from since the light on the left is brighter than the other places.
I also used the light of my phone to create different angles and direction of the light to the bolsters.

Here, the light is from the front of the bolster, it highlights the front of the bolsters and the back is almost all in shadow |
|
In this picture, the light is more likely from the bottom of the bolsters, the light is quite strong and make the subject looks quite mysteries and evil. |
|
I also place the light at the front of the subject, but I make it a little bit farther (comparing to the first picture).
Also, I make the light to the left, that is, the light is from the left corner. Therefore, the shadow of the subject is formed at the back and it is slightly on the right.

Here I place the light on the left hand side of the bolster which has a tomato on the top, so the light on the left of that bolster is brighter than the right hand side. Also, because my light is quite strong, it seems to be a hard lighting which can create a sharp edged shadows. If it is use on a person, it can show that the person may have a dark side or a dark past. |
|
Here I place the light on the right of the bolsters. But the light illuminates on the right one is more likely to be a back light, since it illuuminates that one by highlighting its back. |
|
This time I place the light on the top of the bolsters. Since it is hard for me to place the light just above the two bolsters and take the picture, I place it more above the left one. It highlights the top of that bolster and below that the subject is almost covered by shadows. |
Because I didn't use the studio light, I just use my phone light and the light from nature(by sun), this is not really professional. But I can still find the difference by using these two type of light. The phone light is stronger than the nature one and it often creates the hard lighting. I think it can also be the example of low key. And the nature light is softer, often creates the soft lighting. Comparing to the phone light, the nature light is more likely to be the high key.
Next time, I hope I can use the studio light to experience the different angle and direction, I think the illumination of the light and the differences will be more clear than this time.
