Here are two images. The same subject matter and shot within 2 minutes of each other. One is using natural, available light. The other is mostly flash light. Of course one is colour and the other is black and white but just look at the difference in atmosphere. Try it some time.
In addition to lighting, Alex has been asked to look at the Rabbi. The emphasis of the shot changes to the engagement of the boy from reading to listening.
It can be so easy to change the message of the shot.
Is the B&W the non natural lighting?
ReplyDeleteYes. The intensity of the flash lightens the foreground and darkens the background and visually separates them. This makes the image much more dramatic and focused by the use of flash.
ReplyDeleteHope the still life shots this week are progressing.
