Studio Lighting






















Aperture f: 32
Shutter speed: 1/15
IOS: 100


Our main inspiration for this photoshoot was Nicolas Guerin who does a lot of dramatic black and white photography in front of plain, dark backdrops such as the photo you see on the left. We wanted to create a disturbing mood in the our photo and we achieved this through the lighting, the model’s expression, and the composition.
The specs for this photo are as follows: Manual mode, ISO 100, shutter speed 1/15, aperture f.32, manual white balance. We used one strobe light directly in front of the subject and used the blackboard in the classroom as the background. Sussica was the main model and Kewin was the hand model. I helped with adjusting the lights while Jimmy took the photo and made edits to the photo.

The process Jimmy took to editing the photo started with changing the mode to greyscale, adjusting the brightness/contrast, fixing the skin using the spot healing brush tool, and then adding an extra layer in order to add a dark vignette around the photo.
