We experimented with a studio setup. This included the use of a Soft Box, a reflector and a lighting umbrella to attempt different effects.
We were taught how to set up the studio and what each lighting setup is for.
This enabled us to adjust the intensity of the light by altering various elements of the setup and by adjusting the camera settings. Through this we developed our understanding of what light does and how to get the best effects from the studio setting

Portrait Photographers
David Bailey
David Royston Bailey [born second January 1938] is an English fashion and portrait photographer who worked for Vogue.
His work was associated with actors, musicians and royalty; this gave him celebrity status. Some consider him as one of the first celebrity photographers ever.
He has been described as "incredibly attractive, with a dangerous vibe. He was the electricity, the brightest, most powerful, most talented, most energetic force at the magazine"

In each of the images there is a even contrast of negative and positive lighting making each photo feel realistic and eerie
Steve McCurry
In these images Steve McCurry explores the natural beauty of people from different backgrounds and cultures
Richard Avedon
Avedon uses colour contrasts in his close up portraits, each of his subjects holding a stoic and serious face, giving each of them a powerful persona
Diane Arbus
Diane Arbus photographs people who we may not see in our day to day lives. They are marginalised from our society and she enables them to be portrayed
Jane Brown
Brown similarly uses a black and white theme, although this inevitably drains the images of colour he still manages to communicate a positive vibe through the expressions of his subjects
