Origami: Light & Shadow

Inspired by a lesson from Carrie Marie (including her students' photo examples below )

For this project, you will be very "hands-on!" Your goal is to create one (or more) origami animal and photograph it using a minimalist background of solid coloured paper.

Please submit at least three (3) final .jpg images. Considerations should include:

• Most common light used for this is actually just a phone light. It is easily controllable and offers hard, defined shadows.

• Can use studio lights, or flash .

• Shoot RAW, then edit images for optimal composition, colour pop, etc.

• In editing, take the time to remove wrinkles or other imperfections from the background paper

• One image can be in black & white if you choose.

• Remember the Inverse Square Law...background light will "fall off" more if the light source is close to the subject.
