Indiana Jones

To create our version of the Indiana Jones poster, we started by side-lighting the backdrop with a profile with a red gel sitting on the ground. We then used two profiles as front light; one lighting his upper body and one lighting his lower body and feet. Finally we added a yellow side-light using a second profile on the ground. This lit the back of our model's legs as seen in the poster. We would have benefitted from more lights since the lighting was complex.

The Godfather

The lighting of this photograph was fairly simple in the choosing of the lantern, it consisted of a single profile with a red gel. The challenging part was getting the angle of the light and the position of the camera correct. In the end we lit it from the back and had a lot of spill onto the front of the face, this added the correct shadowing on the face, keeping the eyes dark and the front of the face visible. We flipped the photo in Phixr so the images were both facing the same way.
