DIRECT SIDE LIGHT
*NOTE: The shadow(s) for these portraits should be dark
DIRECTIONS:
1. In relative darkness, hold/position/set-up a light to illuminate your subject from an obvious side direction. (One idea is to have them hold their own light by using the light from their cell phone screen, changed to different colors and brightness...a desk lamp would work...)
2. Choose a favorite person.
3. Probably at night, but definitely in a dark place, make TEN+ photographs of your person with this DIRECT SIDE LIGHTING.
*If you are using the same person for all eight images, that's fine. Move the light (or the subject) - even slightly - so that in each photo your human is illuminated a bit differently. The shadows might change shape and direction, and highlights will be in other places. Even small changes can make or break a photo, and that is part of what we will observe with the total of your images.
The differences might be slight, or dramatically obvious. Either way, you'll have a 'different' photo, and it is likely that one will be preferable over another (that's the point of doing multiples).
GENERAL NOTES:
-An obvious and distinctly dark shadow should be visible (dark side of the face)
-An obvious direction from where the light is emanating (coming in from one side only)
-Make sure the light itself is NOT in the picture.
SUGGESTIONS:
*Use a small light to begin with, at night/in dark, and build from there.
**Possible light sources: small table lamp with/without the shade, cell phone flashlight, computer/laptop screen...
