Light: Activity 1


Soft Lighting

In this photo, "Fields of Love"captured by Alexei Demin, the mood is a bit romantic. The light is touching the couple in a way that appears soft to the eye. The sky in this photo looks a bit gloomy, as if it were going to rain soon. But since the subjects of the photo look so happy, despite the appearance of the sky, their emotion gives the photo a pleasant mood.





Hard Lighting




This photo, "Following the Sun" captured by Irina Oreshina, is an example of hard lighting. I say this because the subject is standing directly in front of the light source, or the Sun. Although the subject is far away, you can still see specific details in her. Some of these details include the flowing of her hair and the texture of her skirt. I feel like the mood in this picture is pleasant, and almost exciting. I could picture this model seeing something, or even someone, on the path that her silhouette is blocking, and she is frozen, almost as if in shock.
