Systems and Processes - Lesson 3

Lighting techniques/temperature/characteristics - in the studio and around the University building with Andrew Farrington

1

Tungsten and fluorescent light in the room - daylight through the window (right)

F5.0 - 1/60sec - ISO 400 - WB-Fluorescent 4000k

The daylight creates cold, white colour on the right side of the face

--------------------------------------------------------------------

2

Tungsten and fluorescent light in the room - daylight through the window (right)

F4.5 - 1/60sec - ISO 400 - WB-Fluorescent

F4.5 - 1/60sec - ISO 400 - WB-Fluorescent

This light setup created warm colour on the middle of the subjects face and cold colour on either side of the face

--------------------------------------------------------------------

3

Fluorescent

F4.5 - 1/60sec - ISO 400 - WB-Fluorescent

Cold coloured light

--------------------------------------------------------------------

4

Tungsten

F4.5 - 1/60sec - ISO 400 - WB-Fluorescent

Warm coloured light

--------------------------------------------------------------------

5

Tungsten lighting from above

F4.0 - 1/60sec - ISO 400 - WB-Fluorescent

Creates warm highlights and shadowed eyes

--------------------------------------------------------------------

6

Energy saving light bulb from above and daylight from either side

F4.0 - 1/60sec - ISO 400 - WB-Fluorescent

Cold daylight from both sides and warm highlights from light bulb above

--------------------------------------------------------------------

7

Fluorescent light with light diffusing plastic from above - in highly reflective lift

F4.0 - 1/60sec - ISO 400 - WB-Fluorescent

Cold coloured light with heavily shadowed eyes and under chin

--------------------------------------------------------------------

8

Daylight from window (left) and Art light from above

F5.0 - 1/60sec - ISO 400 - WB-Fluorescent

Both cold coloured lights, right side of face shadowed

--------------------------------------------------------------------

9

Fluorescent wall light above

F4.5 - 1/60sec - ISO 400 - WB-Fluorescent

F4.5 - 1/60sec - ISO 400 - WB-Fluorescent

Cold coloured highlights, quite a lot of shadows

--------------------------------------------------------------------

10

Overcast daylight with reflective window behind subjects

F5.0 - 1/125sec - ISO 400 - WB-Fluorescent

F5.0 - 1/125sec - ISO 400 - WB-Fluorescent

Cold coloured light with very little shadow
