Lighting source

• Find an example of a photograph where the subject has been lit by a single light source and an example where more than one light has been used.
• Describe in each the quality and position of the brightest or main light and the effect this has on the subject. In the second example describe the quality and effect the additional light has.

In this picture there is heavy, dark shadows. This is a very powerful and strong image with a single light source on the face. this gives the image a dark mysterious feel all the while it is still a beautiful picture of this old man. there was one light source and it was probably used in a studio with all the lights out but single source.

This photo shows a girl sitting down. at first one might think that is is just lit by a single source but notice no shadows? this probably means they are using soft lighting and that could mean an umbrella. the picture looks like it is trying to be perfect but still look natural so they used a home setting and studio lighting.
