Light: Activity 2

• Find an example of a photograph where the subject has been lit by a single light source and an example where more than one light has been used. 
• Describe in each the quality and position of the brightest or main light and the effect this has on the subject. In the second example describe the quality and effect the additional light has.



The single light photograph always give off a more dramatic

feel than a photograph with multiple light photograph.

The angle of the flower and the light matters as well,

I like how the flower is facing the light, your subject

or whatever the main focus go the picture is should be

lit up by the most light. It would just look strange if you

had the light facing the other side of the sunflower.

This is the example of the multiple lighting photograph.

This photo looks like it has natural lighting or just a really great light

source and the white background helps because light is bouncing off of it and onto

the back go the baby. You can tell there is multiple lights because there isn't

any major shadowing, most parts of this baby are pretty lit up, yet the greatest light is

still on the main subject of the picture, which is the

baby's face. You can also see that this picture isn't as dramatic as the first

but it obviously gives you some other feeling , which is based on the subject and

not really on the lighting like the first. A smiling, excited baby gives off a

happy or joyful feeling to the viewer.
