Studio lighting portraits

1:0 lighting ratio

1:1 close up lighting

2:1 lighting

These portraits of studio lighting were shot on 3 different days.  The first day consisted of a 1:0 ratio with the studio lights off and one light placed on the left side of the model (Sara) .  Day 2 was a 1:1 lighting ratio with 1 light on either side and close to the model.  Lastly, day 3 was a 2:1 lighting ratio by moving one light with the umbrella close to the bulb closer to the model (Grace), and one light with the umbrella further away from the bulb and the model.  By moving the position of the lights, using diffusers, adjusting the height of the light stands, and changing the distance I was able to create different portrait lighting and different effects.
