    I think this portrait is kind of like a vertical version of standard portrait lighting except everything except the main focus is darkened out. The lighting from the refrigerator door creates a silohuette of the girl's lower body while the light from her laptop brightens her face. Not only do these two light sources do different things, they are also of different colors, making, I think, the photo more interesting. I could probably apply the lighting in this in photo into class by dimming down the lights and try to creating a focus with lighting on the main focus. However, this would probably be difficult to do in class due to the limited amount of darkness in the classroom as well as how to angle lights in order to not create a "shine" or glare into the camera lens.
    All of the commotion relating to online blogging, tweeting, tumbling, etc creates a type or controversy. Controversy develops in to art. Also, blogging is a way for people to share their life or emotions through different methods. This is what art does as well. Some people may also post pieces of art that contribute to the art community.

Standard Portrait Lighting





    In this portrait, I captured Karl Fulgencio's "Inner Diva." Using two hot lights, I used standard portrait lighting, creating a nice gradation on his face. I had Karl pose as what I thought captured his inner model. I think this portrait would me more of a success if I had focused the camera more on his face (rather than his hand). I did not really focus it because I thought it was rather difficult to have so many things to focus on; Karls pose, the lighting, every move he made, facial expressions, angling, and focusing. Photographers, wow. I have to get better!
