Studio Time

This week, Year 10 employee Keon led a studio and exterior photography session as part of Unit 10 of BTEC Creative Digital Media Production (First Certificate). 

 

Working in a small-scale studio environment (complete with backdrop and lighting rig), Keon used Maths teacher Mr Kerr as his subject.

He experimented with different lighting setups and focal lengths, producing a contact sheet and then printing a selection of his best work.

‘I now understand how you can use lights to get different effects. The under lighting gave a really dark and mysterious effect on his face.’ -Keon

Keon repeated the process for an outdoor shoot, this time utilising the modelling services of Exams Officer Mr Samuels.

‘I understand now how you can use a reflector board to get rid of shadows and darkness.’ –Keon

Now that Keon has completed his camera tests, we look forward to him fulfilling the brief for this unit by creating photography for a specific digital media product. In the meantime, you can enjoy some of his best work below.
