The lighting of a photograph can determine whether a photograph is a success or a terrible mess; For example, if the lighting is totally wrong, the model in the photo, may look like a blur, and might reflect off of all the wrong places. However, it can also make the photo look outstanding, if the light reflects off the right places, and shines so the emphasis is on the model, then you will end up with a spectacular looking photo like this one.
I think that this is a good example of lighting, because the light really bounces off of her dress, in the corners, and creates a massive glow around the whole photograph.
FACTUAL: This photo is by Annie Leibovitz, and it is a photograph of the very stunning Nicole Kidman.
CONTEXT: This is a photograph of Nicole Kidman, this was not taken for a fashion shoot, Annie likes to take photographs of beautiful famous people.
TECHNICAL: I think that this photo was taken in a ballroom dancing hall, giving that there are lots of bright spotlights, and it seems like a very sophisticated building, and the surroundings seem posh. The wooden floor also makes me think that it is a dance hall. The lights are really bright, and shine and glisten off of Nicole and her amazing dress.
AESTHETIC: I like the lighting in this photo, because it really reflects off of Nicole, and makes her glow, and her dress shine so bright, so bright that in the bottom left of the photograph the dress disappears in with the light. With out this light, this photograph would be boring and it just wouldn't have the same amazing affect.
This photograph has really helped me to understand how to use lighting, and how to understand the factors of what makes a good photograph with lighting included in it.
