You have 7 days to take a photo using light intentionally.
Light. It’s literally what the word “photography” means. Throughout the history of art and photography, light has been a crucial element in defining and shaping subjects. From the dramatic chiaroscuro techniques of Caravaggio to the classic portrait lighting of early photographers, artists have long understood the power of light and shadow. This week’s challenge focuses on intentionally using light to shape and define your subject. Experiment with different lighting techniques to create mood and drama. Here are some ideas to get you started: Underlighting – create a spooky or dramatic effect by lighting your subject from below. Rembrandt Lighting – achieve a classic, timeless look with a small triangle of light on the subject’s cheek. Split Lighting – give your subject an edgy and intense look by lighting one side and leaving the other in shadow.
