We experimented more with the reflectors in these images and tried to get the lighting flattering and correctly on Ellie’s face. We used different lights throughout the ‘photoshoot’ such as snoop light, spotlight, Lightbox, soft box lights to create different moods and effects on the subject.

For these photo it originally started that we were playing around with props and dark lighting but the photos actually came out quite well. The light hit their faces in the right place and the shadow behind Ellie’s face of Ollie creates a story to the photo.

I took these photos fairly close up and changed Ellie’s portrait into black and white, and although she wasn’t ready for the photo I think it still works well as it looks like she’s talking out to the viewer. Dans photo also shows a lot of detail and the way the light was positioned works well with his eyes and makes him look alive and real.
