PLAGARISM
another exercise for this week's assignment.
Again the concept was that we have to replicate the lighting as closely as possible.
Of course it isn't going to be exact because presumably we don't have all the
lights and modifiers that a pro studio would have but we have to get it as close as
possible.
Here is the ad along with my copied version.
As I see it, here is where mine differs...
I needed a diffuser of some sort which I didn't have.
My lights needed to be a little higher up than they were
The scissors needed to be closer to her nose so that I could crop this as close as the ad is cropped
(if I had cropped it any closer the way it is, I would have lost the scissors)
I needed shinier (aka: more reflective) tape.
Anything else that you see?
addendum:
I do appreciate folks feedback but I want to clarify...
the exercise was to recreate the lighting. The photo itself didn't need
to be exact in pose. As for the tape over the eye... I didn't see that
until after my model left. I was focusing more on the light and shadows.
I think I agree with Karen about the bone structure of the ad model being a
little deeper than the bone structure of my model but still I think the lights
up a little higher might have made a closer match. But the glints in the eyes
do match well this way so who knows.
I hated this assignment by the way.
Next weeks assignment is to photograph an elderly person.
If there is anyone reading this who fits that description and
lives near me here in the NY metro area, please speak up and I will
be happy to have you as my model.
