Metal and Glass



















This is my photo for the metal and glass assignment. I used the plexiglass table with a large softbox behind it then I used a gel on the light underneath the table and large piece of yellow cardboard on the floor to reflect the light. Above is somewhat of a lighting diagram for it.

Lighting Diagram for Portrait of Rob


This portrait of Rob Bratney was shot with two lights and a reflector. One light is coming from above and to the right of Rob and the other is coming from the left. This helped me avoid any light reflections in his glasses. and then the reflector was used to make sure there was enough light under the brim of his hat.
