The studio work has brought me something which I was really anxcious to do, it was working with white walls as background and professional lights. No matter that I knew before that even with a normal bulb I can reach dramatic effects on pictures I was really curious to use and to see at work these "gadgets".
Firstly I found it good that a discription was given to the lighting and how it works, because nobody is born with all in-bulit skills;)
Secondly, I also enjoyed the fact that people behaved more photogenic in the studio context, as they usually refuse taking portraits.
All in all, I should say that the class had a psoitive influence on the way I look at lighting now, and the flash has disappeared as the only tool of light in my "photographic dictionary".
As for the first picture I uploaded I would leave the viewer to decide which person to look at as a subject of the snap, but my intention was to have a look behind the scenes and take a 'how was it made picture', which I suggest looks good in the end of a long list, assembled from face and bust-snaps'.
This second picture I've just uploaded, because it ended up with this kind of hyper-space special effect... I used to do intentionally such things, but only with objects and also carefully on them as well because they get blured easily...Actually I never could execute on face without ending up with a monsterlike face until now. So this snap has just broken the ice and I hope it will have an afterlife with several face-space effects.Concerning the final slide, I suggest that it is a good idea and I won't spoil the surprise even to us how it going to be assembled from various snaps, so I leave it for the final talk to give my opinion on it. For the handy reason as well that I can talk better on a thing which is done, than on the one which is only under constructon;)
