Lighting Photos

These photos are examples of lighting. My approach was to use artificial lighting in a way that made each photo different. The first photo is with the light source coming from behind illuminating the object enough that we can recognize what it is but not enough that the front is the focal point. The next photo is with the light source coming from the side of the frame shining onto the front of the object. This allows you to view the front of the object while keeping the background objects and the back of the object in the shadows. The last photo is not with a lamp but with a flash on the camera. The flash illuminated the tarnish and little imperfections on the object, it also allowed the shine of the object to become prominent. It showcases the front of the object because the light source is coming directly from the front while still not looking at the object in a full frontal situation. Lighting can change the look and the impact of any object with very subtle changes.
