Admin Rodney Posted September 24, 2015 Admin Share Posted September 24, 2015 Thanks Tore! I'd say this might be an example of where the desired pose (style of portraiture) dictates the lighting more than anything? Otherwise it'd be good to have her maintain the same pose throughout all of the various changes in order to better evaluate the lighting change. There are some pretty dramatic changes in the poses of the lady and the captions/descriptions don't address that effect from initial setup to lighting. Of course the whole point of the guide is for lighting portraits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted September 25, 2015 Hash Fellow Share Posted September 25, 2015 Thanks Tore. I like comparison charts.What is the meaning of the "Rembrandt" term? (Aside from the painter himself)Is it a kind of light? A situation?Edit: from Wikipedia... Rembrandt lighting is a lighting technique that is used in studio portrait photography. It can be achieved using one light and a reflector, or two lights, and is popular because it is capable of producing images which appear both natural and compelling with a minimum of equipment.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted September 25, 2015 Hash Fellow Share Posted September 25, 2015 Don't forget the Karloff... and the Lugosi... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tore Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 Robert, I hadn't heard the term Rembrandt lighting myself either, but yes, it obviously originates from Rembrandts preferred light setup when painting portraits, as can be seen in this wonderfull self portrait. Remarkable by the way, how loose and "casual" his strokes where - almost expressionistic, compared to the way people normally painted at that time. Oh yes, the great Karloff and Lugosi! In fact I used the latter lighting technique on the mad policeman in "A Victim of Duty". Actually surprisingly difficult to handle if you want to get that expression, without it looking TOO cheasy :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyGormezano Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 My husband's grandfather would play cricket with Boris Karloff (Golden Gate park, San Francisco). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
