Assignment 1| Final Image and Lighting Diagram

Inspirational image

Original image

Retouched image

Ambiant exposure : 100 ISO | 1/200 @ f/4.0

Strobe exposure : 100 ISO | 1/200 @ f/11.0
Camera settings : 100 ISO | 1/200 @ f/7.1

To shoot this final image, I used the same setting I had for the lighting test, except the reflector disc to block the sun. This time I used it as a diffusion panel to diffuse my flash light instead of using the umbrella which was impossible to keep open because of the wind!

The good thing was that there were clouds in the sky, as in my inspirational photo. The complicated thing was the perpetual changes in the sky with the sun coming in and out all the time! So I had to wait the good moment and shoot fast.

I still had to add some color in the sky, and make a warmer light on my model in Photoshop, to recreate the mood of my inspirational photo.
