Lighting Class

Studio lighting. Not one of my fortes, but I really want to learn how to do it. The first couple weeks of class we've dealt with standard methods of how to light portraits, such as: broad, short and butterfly lighting, and also how to use and reflect the key light and add hair, rim, and background lights. All of our portrait had to be shot with a 3:1 ratio.

Critique #1 was today, I had to display the following images in class, and I did pretty well with the exception of an exposure problem on one photo and a couple of shadow issues on the broad, short, and butterfly lighting.
