Exercise 4: Lighting

After the project submission we did another exercise about lighting. We are asked to look for photos taken in a studio within 1940-1950 on the internet. We then need to choose one photo that has been approved by Mr. Vinod and replicate the shot in terms of lighting, hair, makeup, outfit, and so on. We were given a week to prepare for the photo shoot. On the day of the photo shoot, Mr Vinod gave a  short lecture about lighting, followed by a short session on how to use the studio in the correct way. After that he did a demonstration using me as the model to show others how to position the lights and direct the photo shoot. We then took over and directed the shots after that. I find this exercise really interesting. I also learnt that it takes so much effort and time just to take a good studio shot.
