White Backdrop with Blue Gel Lights

To get this picture we used the white backdrop. We also used a blue gel light to the back right of the model and a white cone light and polyboard reflecting the light onto the backdrop to the back left of the model. We had both the lights on a high setting and on flash so the model was visible, but the front was a little bit dark in order to create a slight contrast.


For this picture we had a very similar setup to the previous setup, except for a key light that we added to on the lowest setting to give the model a little bit more brightness while still keeping the model in contrast to the backdrop.

This was the first picture that we took with this idea in mind. As you can see the model is too dark and the background is a lot bluer than the other attempts. We had the same setup as the first image but on lower settings making the gel light overpower the cone light.

My High-Key Photography

In order to get this picture we used one cone light facing the backdrop with one poly board reflecting the light away from the model. We also had our key light to the right of the model lighting their face in contrast. There was then a back light that we used to differentiate the model from the background. To get the blue tint around the outside of the model we used a phone torch that was being held by the model on their lap and was being shone towards their face.

For this picture we had our key light to the right of the model shining on their face and we had the backlight to the right of the model too. We also had a cone light and polyboard shining onto the background from the left of the model in order to make the right half of the background brighter than the left, thus in contrast. This was the opposite of the lighting that we used on the model as the lights were reversed so that the right side of the model was brighter than the left, therefore, again, creating contrast.
