STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHY - Bottle

ASSIGNMENT BRIEF

STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHY


Using a bottle of water (preferably a coloured bottle), employ the use of the following modifiers;

• honeycomb


• soft-box (masked),


• beauty dish


• umbrella.

these are the pictures i took using the above modifiers, i also used black boards and white reflectors to change the effects slightly.

modifier: soft box with masking (low down)

modifier: soft box masked with back light

modifier: soft box, with masking (high light)

modifier: umbrella

modifier: umbrella with 2 side detractors

modifier: umbrella, with back light on

modifier: beauty dish

modifier: beauty dish, with black detractor at the side and white reflector above to lighten the lid.

modifier: honeycomb

modifier: honeycomb

modifier: honeycomb with white reflector to right

from this task I've learnt that using soft box with masked lighting is what seemed to work best for the effect i was trying to achieve which was to get a line of light down the bottle. i found that the honeycomb modifier didn't show enough light on the bottle and was confined to one spot around the centre and the beauty dish and umbrella light which was quite thick and only down half the bottle. If i was to do this again i would use the soft box with masked lighting and have it down both sides to create a more even look and to represent the "curves" of a woman as this is a product that is aimed at women.
