LIGHTING

LIGHTING DEFINITION: Light is a fundamental part of photography. Photographers use light in their photographic compositions, sometimes taking advantage of the natural light of their surroundings and other times manipulating light sources to achieve the desired lighting effect.

TYPES OF LIGHTING:

• Natural light
• Artificial light
• Diffused and direct lighting
• manipulating light with filters

FACTUAL: This photo was taken by Annie Leibovitz who has been a photographer since the 1970's when she worked for the Rolling Stones. In 2007 she was hired by Disney to shoot celebrities in various roles and scenes. 

CONTEXT: This photo is one of her lighting photos, it is a lady in a long white dress on a stage, with the light shinning down on her as she is the main point in this picture.

TECHNICAL: I think she has taken this photo in a studio on a stage or in a hall, with a DCLR camera because it looks recent. its focusing on the lady as the lights are shinning down on her.

AESTHETIC: i like this photo because it shows lighting very well and that the lady is the main focus but the detail in the room as the light britons up the room aswell as the lady.
