     Photographing an egg prepared me for photographing a classmate by helping me understand the lighting
     patterns better and the proper/best placement in order to achieve those patterns.

5. In what ways, were the two labs similar and what ways did the experiences differ?
     The two labs were similar because both required someone to place a light in the proper positions in order to

     human has color and texture to reference better.

     I will incorporate lighting in my photography in the future by referencing these patterns and applying them
     based on what I want to convey with my photo. As well as whether I want to make the model look more
     appealing/nice aesthetically.
