In our seventh week of photography, we focused again on portraiture, by taking advantage of the natural light from outside we experimented with images using a reflector to manipulate the light around the subject.
In this photo, the natural light enters the frame from the left, lighting up the right side of the subjects face. This left the other half considerably darker and flat, until we incorporated the the reflector into manipulating the light, in order to illuminate the darker half of his face. Some detail in this photo is lost however due to slight over exposure, particularly on his left side of his jaw, as we can not see his jawline meet up with his ear.
With this photo, we didn’t make use of the reflector, particularly because it was only the one half of the face that was covered, meaning the natural light worked well enough to create this photograph.
