Within this class project, we will be creating three portrait using three different lighting set-ups.

To share your class project, upload three photos from your portrait shoot using three different lighting set-ups.
Feel free to let us know how the process went for you, too! Include things that you think went well as well as things that you have learned from the process that might make things run smoother for the next shoot.
As well as sharing your work in the group project section of Skillshare, make sure to share your work on social media and tag @sophiajcarey

For those of you who only have access to one light, I recommend trialling the following lighting set-ups:

Overhead/hair lighting (for more information on hair lighting, refer to the Lighting Diagrams and Terms & Language PDFs available)
Direct light
Bounced light

My entire ethos when it comes to learning is to learn through trial and error. Experimentation, in my view, is key when it comes to learning, and that's why I want to encourage you to shoot portraits with three different lighting set-ups for this class project. By experimenting with three, different lighting techniques, it'll give you an idea of how different types of lighting work, and what kind of lighting you enjoy using.
