Practical assignment 1
Take some portrait shots. Post one shot with soft lighting and one with more dramatic, harder lighting.

This is obviously an awful picture, but hopefully it’s a good example of hard lighting. Although hard lighting doesn’t have to be super unflattering, it usually is.

This is the original photo of the poster below. This lighting is softer.

Practical assignment 2
