Studio Lighting and Portraiture 

Define The Following Terms:

Types of Light:

Ambient Light: Lighting used to portray moods. For example, light blue may portray a certain feel, such as calamity, whereas red portrays anger.

Main Light: The central source of light which causes the most drastic of effects are portrayed.

Fill Light: A secondary light in which is used to fill an area without affecting the effect.

Diffused Light: A light source in which a gel or other diffusion medium is placed over it to soften or harden the light. It can also be diffused into various colours for different effects.

Ceiling Bounce: A technique in which a light is pointed at the ceiling, and reflects onto the subjects. This technique is extremely effective for portrait photography, I find.

Background Light: Light that fills the background of a photo. 

Hair Light: Light that is directly behind the subject that illuminates the subject's hair.

Natural Light: Any source of light in the natural environment. For example, sunlight or moonlight.

Tell me what colour daylight is, and what colour tungsten bulbs are. AND what colour flashes mimic!

Daylight, on the spectrum is a pale peach. Tungsten is more of a darker, more orange shade. Colour flashes tries to mimic 

Types of portraits:

Candid Photography: Candid photography refers to a casual form of photography in which no effort is established to create an elaborate set. It's just photography in a natural environment without any elaborate set up. 

Posed Photography: Posed photography refers to a formal type of photography in which an elaborate set/ lighting configuration is set up to add to certain effects.

Self Portrait: A self portrait refers to when a person takes a photo of themselves.
