what I've done to the images mainly is crop them, the first set have been cropped to 16x9 and the second set have been cropped to 10x8. in the first set i have also added a black and white effect to one of the photos and on the second one i have increased the saturation and lightness if the photo to give it a more vibrant but soft look.

Studio Portrait

3-Point Lighting system, uses a fill light, key light and a back light. The key light acts as the main source of light for the photographer, the fill light is used to fill out any possible shadows that could show up on the backdrop and the back light is used to illuminate the backdrop.
The system we used had a key light, fill light and a reflector, the use of the reflector was to fill out any shadows on peoples faces. Health and safety related to this was the fact that they were portable light's they could easily be toppled and hit someone, the light were also extremely bright and because of the flash this could of caused harmful effects to our eyes and because of this brightness they got hot so there was the possibility of someone getting burnt.  

White Balance setting

When testing settings on the camera we set the camera to manual and changed the white balance manually for each shot. the settings were Auto, Fine, Fluorescent Light 1, 2 and 3, Shade and Incandescent.

Hard and Soft Light

             

 Soft Light 

 Hard Light 

These 2 photos show examples of hard and soft light. Hard light differs from soft light as it shows more contrast and has more defined shadows in them, the direction of light can also effect this, giving it a more dramatic effect and making it seem unnatural.
