LIGHTING

LIGHTING

High key lighting - lets out more light, brightens the picture

Low key lighting - lets out less light, dimming and adding shade/shadows to a picture


Light Accessories 

Hard light - has no cover over the actual light bulb but has a small dish around the exterior aiming the light in the direction you want. This is a high key lighting, the light is really harsh and shouldn't ever be pointed on to the any persons face. They work best when aimed at a wall or background creating a reflective light.

Soft box - They come in different sizes, an adapter that is a box with a white cover in front of the light. . This is a low key lighting technique, giving off a really soft light into the shot and more shadows. You can use reflectors for these shots as they will add more light into the shot if needed. 

Beauty dish - Hence the name this adapter is best for beauty shots. This is low key lighting and gives a nice lighting without it being too bright, reflectors can be used to brighten up the image.
