Same picture, different light

For this assignment I chose to use my little brother and sister, Brenden and Annicka. I took the picture outside under a light in front of my parents house. I did this because I knew that my camera wouldn’t take a good picture at night unless I had some sort of light. I found this assignment to be pretty interested. It’s crazy how you can take the same picture and change it’s mood so much just based off of the light used. The picture with light seems happy, they’re both smiling and the sky is blue. In the picture taken at night time the mood is more serious. Unfortunately they’re smiling a little less in the darker image. It was hard to have them make the same exact face. Guess that’s the challenge of using people at your target for this assignment. The color is also effected when the light changes. In the picture taken during the day time the colors that the kids are wearing are bright and clear, they are a lot more intense. As apposed to the nighttime picture, the colors all get a lot more dull and dense. The actual light in the daytime picture kind of washes out the top of the image; it doesn’t necessarily steal your focus, more of a cool effect if you ask me. In the nighttime picture the light above their heads almost gives the effect of the sun glowing down on them. You can see rays created from the light. The light above their heads also brings out the color and adds highlights to both of their faces, and creates more shadows. Because both of their faces obviously have curved and round lines on them, chiaroscuro is present; which means that it represents light falling across the curved and rounded parts of their faces.
