For the single light shot, I used a light with soft box at right side, further back so as to not light up the other side of her face. In this shot, I plan to show her strong profile (nose and lips) and emphasize her right eye lit by the light through her hairs. This eye, or even the left eye in the shadow, shows her calmness and braveness. Those characteristics explain why she can work as a part-time emergency assistant in the hospital, and why she prefers being a photojournalist working in
For the 3 lights shot, I used a white backdrop for a high key shot. Two lights with same power were used to light background. And a light with a soft box using less power lit her from top front and a reflector was used right below her face and the light. The light ration is 1:1 between both sides of her face. And background is overexposed. This high key one shows the other side of her characteristics. She is a cute girl with a sweat smile.
I was very happy to work with Polina who is a good model and a nice teammate.
