DIGITAL STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHY
INTRODUCTION:
Use the ‘studio’ (or another location) to create images where you control the lighting.
Take a set of photos of a group of objects with different lighting set-ups.
Use your time wisely, as others will also want to use the space.
ASK ABOUT LIGHTS, REFLECTORS AND OTHER LIGHTING EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT.

At least 20 IMAGES, consisting of:
10 images using only 1 light source
10 images using 2 light sources (one can be a reflector)

STEPS:
• Set up your objects and put your camera on a tripod
