Working in a Studio :Photography Masks

I worked in a classroom studio with a black paper backdrop, one light at a corner angle so it would cast a half shadow over the models face. The camera settings where f 16.0, 1/60, ISO 200. Make sure you are in sharp focus for more of an intense/cleaner image.

The models I used where my class colleagues, they were very brave to have their photos be used in my assessment and they did well and showed off the masks nicely. I needed to take a hundred or so number of photos for plenty of references & choose nine to be my final pieces.

As it was a classroom studio the other class colleagues where also present so I was nervous but I managed to get good photos that i'm pleased with.
