These three pictures are done throughout experimenting different kinds and angles of light. I shoot my friend Sarah. At first I tried different kind of studio lights and reflector, such as 1:2 lighting and 2:2 lighting. It was my first time to use studio lighting so it takes me a couple of minutes to set up everything. I tried to put the light on the right side, then I realized there would be shadows. So I added another studio light on the left side to reduce and minimize the shadow. I tried a couple of times with different angles of shooting, then I finally got a picture that I was satisfied with it.
After taking the proper studio lighting picture, I kind of played with the light, camera and other things in the studio. I tried to take picture beside the window to have the shadow reflection of Sarah’s face in the window. I think it was really nice. That picture means thinking and meditation. I really enjoy meditation so I decided to give the picture this meaning. I think the mood of the picture is calm. I would name this picture “Zen”.
I used mirror on shooting this picture above. In the picture, Sarah holds the mirror and looks at herself in the mirror. I would name this picture “Me and mE”. I believe many people have been thinking about a question, “Who am I?” Sometimes I like to observe myself in the mirror and think about this question. By looking at themselves in the mirror, I think everyone would have a different answer to this question.
