Week 6 Flash research

Rineke Dijkstra

Beach Series

In this image Dijkstra used a flash straight forward and a reflector to fill in light from the bottom, the source of light is coming from the front because the shadow of the subject is behind her. the image is also taken on a low angle with patterns in her swim suit and texture in the sand .

 In this image it looks like Dijkstra used a flash and a reflector to bounce the light and fill in the shadows on the right of the subject, you can tell because the shadows are on the left of the subject. there is also pattern in her pants and texture in the water and sand.

Juegen Teller

in This image i think teller used a flash straight on and the light is bouncing off the white walls to fill in the shadows and give a washed out look , which he probably wanted because the subject is quite goth looking. the subject is off the middle of the frame and her eyes are leading somewhere else.

I think he used the same technique in this shot to because it looks washed out the white walls act as a reflector he may also be using a reflector to strengthen the bounce of the flash , the image is not straght and the colours in this image are complementary.
