IThis is the Mind Map that I have created for the studio section of my course. The map is represented by two colors, "red and black".  The red represent important key section of the Map.  The black highlights are also important, but they are secondary to the red section. This mind map will be use as guiding light to help me achive a positive outcome.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All people /objects becomes part of the of the theme - People emotionless part of the set (Dolls) - Regency furniture eloborately decorated/everything in keeping. 

 

The use of rich fabric and materials - very staged not natural - needed to do serious planning.

 

I am thinking of using the theme "Victorian meets Modern" for my project. The two Artist that I have chosen are both creative in their own right. So after carefully looking at thier work, I have decieded to use their ideas to create the intended theme. So futher planning would have to go in the initial stage; like I think I could use a box to replicate the studio. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Loop lighting, which is named for the loop-shaped shadow that it creates under the nose, is the most frequently-used pattern.  It is considered to be a relatively flattering and adaptable pattern that lights most of the face while imparting a sense of depth.  It is produced by placing the main light above the face (typically 25-60 degrees) and somewhat to the right or left of the of the direction in which the face is pointing (typically 20-50 degrees)

 

 

 

 

Butterfly lighting, also known as Paramount lighting, became a staple pattern for the Hollywood photographers of the 1930s.   This lighting is characterized by the butterfly-shaped shadow that it casts below the nose.  The butterfly  pattern can be quite useful for a variety of faces, but is at its best on lean subjects with high and pronounced cheekbones.  It is produced by placing the light source above the face (typically 25-70 degrees) and in line with the direction in which the face is pointing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Split lighting, though not usually considered a general-purpose lighting, can be quite useful.  With split lighting, half of the face is lighted and the other half is in shadow.  It is produced by placing the lighting source to the right or left of the direction in which the subject is facing (typically 90-120 degrees),  with the lighting unit at or slightly above face level.  Split lighting is useful for narrowing the face and for cloaking facial imperfections in shadow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The broad light is one the many lights that is used in the studio. This is a simple setup which requires only four (4) pieces of equipment. There is the camera which is facing the model, although the model isn't facing the camera directly. The main light will be to one side with the reflector to the opposite side of the light and then of course the back/wall. The main purpose of the "broad light" is that it helps in making models with a narrow face appears broader hence the name "broad light". 

There is also the "narrow light" which does the exact opposite of what the broad light does. This will requires the same type of setup as the "broad light".
