Practising lighting set up using a Gobo



In this image we used a gobo lighting set up but struggled to get the gobo to show up very brightly but in this image I feel i looks really nice and subtle if that was the type of shot/look I was going for. I wanted to practise this set up as I didn't want to take long setting up when I use this kind of set up for my photoshoots as it means I would leave my models waiting. This session showed that I was able to set up on my own as I was once of few that knew exactly what was needed and how to set it up properly. I left this session quite confused as the set up using the gobo's didn't work as well as I had hoped but found the lighting set up for my Beauty image as when we took out the Gobo's the lighting and composition of the images we were taking came out really nice and effective which would fit with my brand 'Nars'.



These two images show the same lighting set up using the Gobo but without any gobos in it so it was a strong spotlight which came out very bright on the right as we was also using the reflector and the image on the left shows what that images look like with the same lighting set up but without the reflector which shows what a different it makes as it changes the feel of the shoot completely.





Here is another image using the gobo lighting set up which is the lighting I want to use for both my makeup brand images and my editorial images however for my editorial images I want to actually use the gobos and it will fit with my word 'Gambol' which means a forward roll but I will be using it in the sense of movement and how the gobo hits/moves around the different hollows of the face and with my beauty brand images I will be creating a roll in the hair which will fit with my word as it is a roll and 'Gambol' means a forward roll.
