PROJECT #13: LIGHT FALL OFF PORTRAITS

DIRECTIONS:
1. Choose an agreeable subject.
2. Recreate the lighting examples below with an off-camera flash (if you've got one (?)), or a portable/movable light.
3. Be mindful of, and very specific, with the angle of the light for each image. 
4. Insure the background is black/empty.
5. You will create a total of 24 images. (Make a few photos of each, just in case)

*If you have an external flash, the degrees in the first image indicate the angle at which the flash fires while taking the photograph.
**If you have an on-camera flash, the only time you will use it is for the 0/0 degree example below...and maybe not even then.
***Yes, you are most likely limited with the equipment you have. That is not our point. The rationale is to develop a greater awareness of light in relation to the illumination of your subject's face.
****Your subject does not need to smile. In fact, sans smile may be more interesting.


IN CLASS NOW (w/headphones), or ON YOUR OWN TIME, WATCH THIS BEFORE MAKING YOUR IMAGES:
