Experimenting With Lighting

Before I started to take the bulk of the photographs, I wanted to experiment with different types of lighting in order to see which would be the best for this assignment. I started by looking and experimenting with artificial lighting, using a beauty dish on the head of a standard flash lighting set up. I also had another flash set up to illuminate the rest of the models body. I have included a edited photograph below. I am happy with the way that it has turned out however I am still interested in using outdoor lighting for a more natural looking photograph. For my next shoot, I am planning to set up a back drop outside, taking advantage of the natural light available. I have found a place that is ideal for my shoot which incorporates a sheltered area that has an even light from the sun, next to a building. This area is also ideal for getting models for the photographs due to it being near the entrance for a university building.
