The concept for these photographs was to take them with multiple and varied light sources, rather than just the flash of the camera, or the provided light in a room, etc. I incorporated natural light from the sun, as well as light from a plugged-in bulb into these three photographs. I used these light sources differently in each shot which, in the end, provided me with interesting, beautiful, and captivating shots.
For the first photograph, I placed the bulb beside the person's face, illuminating it and casting a pleasant, soft glow onto my subject, who stood facing the natural light. I also love the genuineness of her kind emotions, which added to the overall subsistence of this photograph. For the second photograph, my subject was faced with her back to the natural light, but the bulb placed relatively close to her face, lighting up half of it and casting a mysterious and alluring presence. A feature that I love about this photograph is the warm, orange hue that the light projects, which softens the photo. I also like how the natural light behind her outlines her figure, helping my subject stand out even more. For the third photograph, I took the shot from the outside of the glass looking in, with my subject close to the glass on the inside, with the bulb lighting up her face from the inside as well. I caught the reflection of the breathtaking scenery behind me in the glass, and had my subject "smiling towards the sun" on the inside. For an instant, she appears to be in the same setting as the background, however she is posed inside which coincidentally fit perfectly with the reflection on the glass.
What I especially like about these photographs is that they are especially unique and beautiful in their own way because they are created through various types of light. They each seem to tell a story as well as showcase a piece of their personality. I shot these photographs with a Canon Rebel T21 with an 18-55 mm lens, a shutter speed of 1/60 of a second, and an aperture of f8.
