4. How did photographing an egg prepare you for photographing a classmate?
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
capture lighting patterns. The labs were also different because an egg is a pretty clean, plain white slate, while a
human has color and texture to reference better.

Lighting is important for a photographer to understand because it's a vital element due to its ability to
create/affect the mood and tone of a photo. As well as making the model appear more flattering in certain
aspects/areas.
7. How will you incorporate lighting in your photography in the future?
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.
