Reflection)

This assignment was really fun and honestly not that hard. I learned more about the use of gels and rim light allowing the natural light to also help. We ran into some difficulty when we were originally going to do our photoshoot with both Dylan and Raina until Dylan woke up sick the day we were planning to do it. We ended up going forward with just Raina and rescheduling Dylan and I am glad we did because I love how they ended up turning up. I wanted to play around with the image of Dylan so I shot that one with the intention of black and white. I definitely prefer it black and white over in color as I feel like his flannel pops more. We used two lights, both pointed at the models and then for Dylan we used a third light to get a rim light effect to help him stand off of the black backdrop.
