Location Lighting Assignment


Info - f 5, 1/30th, ISO 200
Dan Diggler looking out at a pond in a park near his apartment in Kalamazoo, MI.
I put the strobe to his right and wedged the reflector to his left in the tree. I held on trying to get the picture without falling in the water.

The model is Dan Diggler from Y 96.5, Kalamazoo's New Country. He has been a long time friend before he was ever on the air. One of my favorite movies, coincidentally his too, is !2 Angry Men. There is a scene in the movie where one of the characters walks to the window talking about his son and it is raining outside. The rain, the lighting, and the position of the actor gave the illusion to the viewers he was crying. I have always wanted to recreate that lighting scenario since I saw that movie. It wasn't raining, so I took a squirt bottle and sprayed the window. Put a strobe outside and someone held the gold reflector near Dan. If you look at the lighting set up photo, you can see the strobe through the window.

It is a camp scouting hat from the group called the Werewolves with a metallic wolf mug.

Image 2 - Joseph Tobianski; Still Life; f4.5; 10/200 sec, ISO 200

It is a pipe with a pipe cleaning device, matches, and tobacco.

Both images were lit from the left hand side and a little bit in front of the object. Did not use any flashes. I used a lamp.
