For my proper studio lighting portion of this unit, I decided to do something different; something that people walking by might find weird but that I thought would end up looking interesting in the end. I didn't want to simply take pictures of a subject sitting on a chair with nice lighting, so I incorporated glitter and rhinestones, knowing they would make the photos stand out. I was inspired to do so by Marina and the Diamonds music video to the song "I Am Not a Robot" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_oMD6-6q5Y). After uploading them to my computer and editing them, I'm very happy with the final product. I had no idea how to properly light a photograph and I definitely have a better idea of how to do so now. I love that the faces in the photos are so natural and that the glitter/rhinestones are not there to make the photo glamorous, these pictures are rather something that can be described as if even the most simple things or the most contained people have something inside them that makes them special and makes them shine. I used a Nikon D3100 to take these photos, with an aperture of f8 and a shutter speed of 1/60s.
These are stunning. I wish the last one was in focus.
