4 factors of lighting

1. Color
2. Angle
3. Intensity
4. Character (Contrast)

The above four factors, in some combination or another, contribute to all possible lighting designs. Is this true?

Exercise:

Choose a solid (relatively) non-glossy object. Use a single light source and reflector. Vary direction, angle, intensity and character of the light to create a series of still life images that demonstrates the variation. Choose an interesting object and complementary background. How do your choices create volume/presence in your object? What brings it to life? What creates depth? (review reading from last week) For at least one, create a sense of depth with your background (using a sweep with light fall-off or otherwise).

Due: Images, prints. One for each variation. 1/31 class-time
