During Andy’s lesson, we got to experiment with lighting in an attempt to black out the background while having the subject in the foreground fully lit. This was achieved by turning down the exposure and adjusting the aperture while a light was aiming onto the foreground. I am impressed by how such a drastic change in lighting can be achieved without adjusting the light source.
Originally I was used as the subject while the rest of the class worked behind the camera.
As you can see, the background is still visibly green, and I’m not very well lit.
Below is my setup of a followup practice I did after that session,
