Introduction to the Second Year!

Today was the fist day back at college and although we started as one large group, we have now been separated into our chosen topics. I chose digital publishing and so did six others, it is a very small class but gives us chance to have individual guidance from Steve our lecturer.

We got an idea to what we will be doing this year and how we will develop our skills throughout the different tasks and projects.

Also we took individual portrait photographs that we can use throughout the year for professional use, and to have them ready for when we need them. We looked at lighting techniques and also problem solved an issue we came across with glasses wearers. For example the glare and reflection of the light bulbs were on our glasses and therefore had to correct this by lifting the lighting umbrella higher and having the model stand closer.

Here is similar setup that we used in the picture below:
