Assignment #6 “Location Lighting”

In this assignment you will make two portraits on location (outside the studio) to show that you have an understanding of how to establish a balance between your strobe light(s) and the available light.

Two separate shots are due for this assignment. You must photograph a person in an interior and exterior setting:

• Make two separate images (one inside, one outside)

• Shoot a minimum of 3 different compositions for each set.

• Shoot both images using a 35 mm DSLR camera.

• Show an intentional relationship between the strobe light and the available light.

• Have two different lighting situations.

• Notebook: Lighting Diagrams, Technical Info, outtakes, and ideas.

Interior setting: The strobe will be the key light, but the ambient light must be critical to the success of the image.

Exterior setting: The strobe can be either key or fill light with the ambient light being critical to the success of the image.

No images should be completely dominated by strobe or by available light.

Show a conscious and intentional balance between strobe and non-strobe light.

You must shoot outdoors and inside. You may use more than one light, as long as you're taking advantage of available light. You may use gels on your light(s) for warming, cooling or for color correction.
