Rembrandt Lighting

Rembrandt lighting is technique of lighting which uses two lights(,or just one as well as a reflector). The key light (or main light) is placed at a 45 degree angle from the subject or model, the second light is placed eye-level to the model. This creates lighting mainly on one side of the face, and highlighting parts of the other side of the face. It makes a triangle of light on the darker side of the face, naming it after the painter Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn's style of portraits. 

ISO Priority

This project was to learn about the effects of ISO on a photo, and which ISO setting goes best with the lighting of your subject.  A higher ISO speed absorbs more light in the photo, and is best for dark subjects/backgrounds, but also creates more noise (or grain) in your photo. A lower ISO speed absorbs less light and is best for bright subjects/background, it's good for controlling exposure, and the photos come out smoother with less noise.
