For the portrait portion of my Lighting People & Products project in Digital Imaging, I created a series of studio photographs focused on capturing a subject through intentional lighting and composition. Using controlled lighting setups, I explored how light and shadow shape mood, highlight features, and enhance storytelling. This project strengthened my understanding of portrait lighting, camera settings, and how to visually represent a subject’s personality.
