The two subjects in my family portraits are my girlfriend Beth, and my Mother. With both portraits, I experimented with light, but I struggled to grasp the technical ways in which the light could be manipulated with the camera. The pictures of Beth were taken in the woods near Much Hadham. We took several, in several different locations. The weather was overcast that day so the lighting had a mild effect on the pictures. The portraits of my Mother were taken in our home in Harpenden. For these portraits I used the lights in the living room where we were shooting to effect picture.
I found that I struggled with this project as I am not familiar with the technical aspects of cameras and therefore struggled to adjust the light using it.
