Experiments in Lighting

1. Shadowed Hope
2. This photo was taken near a field across the street in my house in Chandler, AZ.
3. This photo demonstrates bad lighting levels. The light hits her face harshly and creates shadows. It also creates a lot of highlights and shadows in her hair which is distracting.

Taken in the hour after Sunrise

Taken in the Late Afternoon.

Taken at Dusk.

1. The Relevance of Time.
2. These photos were taken in Chandler, AZ.
3. They demonstrate the different levels of lighting. I only took one in the golden hour on purpose. I really wanted to see if the golden hour made a big difference. It really does make a difference!! (I'm so sorry that they aren't all next to each other! I tried like a thousand different ways, but my blog won't cooperate.)

1. Good Morning
2. This photo was taken in Chandler, AZ.
3. This photo demonstrates good lighting levels. Her skin color is a smooth all the way across. I love the raw look of this photo. I convinced her to come outside during golden hour in the morning just minutes after she woke up. Isn't she so beautiful? (Also super kind to consent to photographs that early in the morning XD)

**Also, just a note: My blog automatically puts the white edging on all of my photos, so that wasn't me.
