Photography Class #1

2008.01.08
My handsome husband was the test subject for many shots while I tried to figure out shutter speed and f/stop. Doesn't he look thrilled?

A few classmates (Sarah, Jenn, Dani, Bridget) get tips about setting white balance from Craig.

Amy is our first model as we begin discussing single source lighting.

Chad has a great profile for silhouettes.


So serious.
One of my new favorite pictures of my husband.


Craig, sitting to demonstrate different lighting effects. This one is likened to Rembrant with the light on both eyes and slightly under the eye.

Lighting can greatly enhance and show off bone structure

Donnell calls this lighting the Hollywood Technique, where the light is almost directly above and slightly in front of the subject. The effect is a slimming of the face and is characterized by the "butterfly" shadow under the subject's nose.

These are my pictures from our first photography class with Donnell. We talked about the basics: Shutter speed, ISO, Aperture and f/stop, white balance. Then jumped right into shooting with only one light source. Chad modeled his silhouette and then Donnell's studio partner Craig sat for a demonstration of how the location of the light source can change the appearance of the face. Our first assignment: try this at home.
