Cats under the light

For our lighting condition photography plate, I chose to use my little kitties for 2 of the conditions, Chiaroscuro (candlelight) and LED.

I thought I’d bring out the natural mysterious characteristics of felines using lighting condition that would match well with the effects of different lighting, light always give that mysterious effect depending on what you use and how you use them.

My personal favourite lighting effect is Chiaroscuro; I love the strong contrast of dark and light to this type of lighting. I was inspired by the old paintings that used this type of lighting; the disregard to color rather the focus on the tone and shadows created with the play of light, adds to the intensity of feel in chiaroscuro.

Next one is Lighting with LED, I used an LED round for this one with all the lights closed. My cat was on a dark glass table (yes, our dining table) on this shoot.

I'll have all my lighting condition shots in a separate blog post. That's it for now :)


BTW, I decided to remove the watermark on my photos for now cause I didn't like how it looks, just don't use them without my consent.
