Exercise 10. The lighting angle

For this shoot I used a prime lens and tripod and placed a figure on a level table.  I used a lamp with a 40w bulb with a baking paper diffuser.

These are the shots:

Diffuser front and level

right and level

rear and level

Above and behind

Above and in front

I quite like all the shots for different reasons.  The ones from the front give good definition of the subject and the ones from behind have a silhouette.

I think that my favourite is the one lit from directly above.  It has a little silhouetting and also good definition and contrast.
