Direction Unit: Idea Development


Took some photos to test the temperature of street lighting at night. Ideally I want to avoid the "yellow" street light as it's not the tone I want and its more unflattering. When looking for locations, I look for floodlight type lighting, a bright white light, to give: an even colour balance when shooting, to provide a good amount of light and to create a colder colour temperature to reflect the tone. Some shop lighting I will look out for can offer an interesting type of light, especially useful for even side lighting as opposed to street lighting above the subject producing harsh shadows. After my research I have considered using reflectors during my shoot to get the best out of the available light I'll have.
