Portrait photos

For a task we had to take pictures of others so we could get used to taking pictures of others and ourselves. We also used different light techniques.

I don't like photos taken so that makes me camera shy. I managed to take a few pictures in the end. We used a Canon 5d camera to take these pictures. The settings were on manual so we had to adjust them ourselves without any assistance. We also used bowens portable lighting 500w because we weren't in a photography studio. Also when we had taken a photo the portable light flashed. A grid deffuser was used along with timers so the light flashed at the correct time.  In the studio we were taught how to position the lights.


When I used the bowens lighting 500w, i had to adjust the flash setting so it wasn't too bright or too dim.
