EXPERIMENT IN ILLUMINATION

This was an experiment in illumination. A play with soft and harsh light that taught me a little more about what it means to really light a subject. There are three things I learned from just this shoot alone when it comes to manipulating light that have really stuck out to me, power, direction, and color.
