For my Design Through Photo assignment Part 2 I photographed a bird figurine sitting on my dining room table. Click
here for the photos. It was a little difficult to decide what constituted a 'medium shot' when I wasn't sure what one would consider above a bird's waist. I did my first several shots using natural light from outside, then several with a key light at a 45 degree angle to the bird, and then added a back light behind the bird. I liked the natural light photos most, but I'm sure that with more high-tech lighting (not bare lightbulbs somewhat shining in the correct direction,) I could have achieved better shots using a key light and back light (and background light!).
Here's my four favorite shots:
Bird's eye view medium shot with key and back light
Medium close up with natural light
Bird's eye view medium long shot with key and back light
Medium close up with key and back light
