So, today i went on location to photograph some different light sources, i chose to go to Blackpool since there alot of interesting lights. The model is Jordan Shepley, it's my 3rd time shooting with him, so it was quite relaxed. Jordans facial structure works really well with this kind of lighting.
The above image was taken with the model stood under a Sodium light, although there is a mixture of different light sources in this image - a neon sign above his head and the fluorescent lights in the shop. I think this image is really effective and the colours from the light sources give an almost cinematic feel..
These two images were taken under two sodium lights. Sodium light seems to be quite overpowering in an image, especially because of the colour of the light. But i think in this instance the lighting is quite nice.
These images were taken in front of a shop window, with lots of red light.. i'm not quite sure what kind of lighting it is, but due to the colour it's not a very flattering light source anyway.
These images were also taken in front of a shop window, although this time with very bright fluorescent lights. I think these images are quite effective as portraits, because the light is so bright it illuminates his face and there isn't any unsightly colour casts.
These images were taken in a phone box, i'm pretty sure this is also fluorescent.. but it seems to have a yellow cast. These images also seem a little cinematic to me and i think the way the light hits the models face in the first picture is quite flattering.
This is also using fluorescent lighting, it was shot outside the train station and the light was fairly bright.. but directional, so i positioned the model under it. This almost reminds me of Film Noir - minus the glamour and smoke machines. I may see how it looks in black and white!
