#controlled lighting techniques

So, I was going through my images looking for the originals of the final six from folios 1 & 2 and came across some forgotten portraits from folio 1

This image was taken by Don English in 1932.  Commissioned by Paramount to advertise the film Shanghai Express.  The image is of Marlene Dietrich

This project is called Controlled Portrait Lighting Techniques and in this project I have learned how the composition of lights can make a difference and let you create unique photos. I also learned how to use them properly and how to use various light modifiers and how they affect the quality of the lights. In addition, I have also learned how to position lights at different angles to create different techniques.
