Today we experimented with using more than one light in the studio. I happened to be the photographer taking photos of our teacher. The photos taken in the lesson show my progression with using the camera (I had never used a 6D before) as well as how the changes in lighting affected the mood and quality of the photo.

This was taken using one light (which is what I used in my first own studio session). It shows how much of a shadow you can achieve with just one light. Even though Adam is a little soft in this photo, I do actually like how the lighting makes the photo look dark and mysterious.

This photo was taken using 3 lights and proves how you should be careful when lighting the background!! I do not like how it has made the edges of Adam glow and will make sure I watch out if lighting a background.

This one of my best photos in terms of lighting. I like the halo effect and the gradient of the background. The lighting on Adam is also nice and not too harsh or soft.

This was taken using a 100mm macro lens and actually achieved a Kerrang! mag look. I like how his has turned out (other than the obvious infinity wall in the background) and may experiment with this style when we begin our portraiture project.

Overall I really learnt the importance of lights in portraits in this studio session and really found it useful.
