ASSIGNMENT 3: USING ONE LIGHT



Using the 250 watt halogen bulb, our assignment was to make a portrait by selecting a quality and direction of light to communicate an emotion. An additional portrait should reflect the opposite feeling. 






FEAR

noun
1.
a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc.,whether the threat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition ofbeing afraid.
Antonyms: couragesecuritycalmintrepidity.


The inverse square law states that the intensity of the light from a point source diminishes inversely to the square of the distance. In the first image the light is located on the floor, on Raquel’s left side and the inverse square law is shown with the fall off of light as the subject gets further away from the source of light.


Also shown in this image, the second law of light determines that Light travels in a straight line. This law is shown by the shadows projected in the background – specially with the bench’s straight lines proportionally distorted by where the light source was placed in relation to the object .







 

 

COURAGE

noun
1.
the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc., without fear; bravery.
2.
Obsolete. the heart as the source of emotion.

The inverse square law is demonstrated through the intensity of light on her face. Two white v-flat and a mirror are reflecting the light  (placed behind Raquel).  Also, this reflection was only possible with the mirror because the angle of incidence equals angle of reflection.

The second law of light determines that Light travels in a straight line. This law is not so clear in this picture because I had to bounce a lot of light in order to illuminate her face but if it wasn’t for this law it wouldn’t be possible.
