Lightning Analysis Exercise

After multiple lessons and exercises in class about the use of flash and natural light I have chosen a serie of images in which I try to guess the lightning solution adopted by the photographer.

Tamas Dezso

I think this picture has been shot bouncing the flash on the ceiling. The shadows on the face are quite sharp and the background is blurred and bright, so the aperture must be wide.

Katrina Kepule

This shot has definitely been taken using natural light only, infact the only source of light is the window and the indoor space is absolutely dark.

Steve McCurry

Sunrise hour, natural light only. People are silhouette and their shadows on the ground are soft and long. However the aperture shouldn't be very wide becaue also the elements in the background are rather sharp.

Lorenzo Vitturi

Natural light only, very wide aperture.
