DAY 4
DIFFERENT LIGHTING PATTERNS FOR PORTRAIT:
1) Split Lighting
The subject has a strong light on one side that creates a shadow on the other side.
This type of lighting is used to make the subject look little bit thinner. And this shows more drama.
2) Butterfly Lighting
This is also called Paramount, because "Paramount Pictures" always use this kind of lighting. And also often called as Glamour, because it is also common for beauty shots, and this lighting pattern is believe to give more beauty to the subject. The shadow creates a butterfly effect below the nose.
3) Rembrandt Lighting
The name is derived form Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, one of the greatest painter of all time. Because he is the first one to use this kind of lighting, wherein a triangular shape will appear in either side of your cheeks.
4) Loop Lighting
It is almost the same with Rembrandt the only difference is that the triangular shape's lines don't meet in the nose and cheeks.
Who new that there are different kinds of lighting in photography? My whole life I thought that as long as the model looks pretty, and looks very fair the lighting is good to go. haha! well, my photography class really helped me understand these things, now let me also share it with you.

For my deliverable next
She's my awesomely beautiful
sister! c: shot this at 11 in the
evening, no light is coming from the room. I only use two BlackBerry cellphones
here, one is in front of her, and the other is in her back to create rays, and
also the bokeh effect. She's facing side-ward to maker her look thinner.
