Lighting A Scene Without Maya

Key light only


Key and Fill lights


Key, Fill, and Rim lights


The Setup:
This is an unused, plastic-wrapped canvas I had, placed against a blank wall, a headlamp, a small mirror, my initials cut from Balsa, and a 2-cell/D battery Maglite flashlight. I shot it using a tripod, my Nikon D60 DSLR, and a handy little wireless shutter release.




This was from the first batch of shots I took using the torchier lamp with an energy-saving, coiled florescent bulb as my fill. I felt it was too much, and I noticed that the head lamp serving as a rim light via the mirror also served as a fill light from the opposite side of the composition.
I liked that much better.
