For this assignment we had to take photos using a black background and make it appear as if there was no background. We had to light the person not the background so it would not cast a shadow to take the photos. This was challenging when doing poses because sometimes you can’t see the shadows on the person until after they are uploaded. Using a light brighter than two iPhone flashlights worked the best for lighting. Most of the photos were better when the person was closer to the camera lens. Using lights to light a person from underneath often didn’t work due to their own shadows. The lights we used were hard to keep your eyes open if the light was being shinned on you. We edited these photos only with brightness and contrast and curves to make the lighting better. Here are some of the best photos from this assignment.
This is really scary
