STUDIO PORTRAIT
In the second photo (black and white) the light source is coming from the left. The large, bright studio light illuminates the left side of the photo only (most of the face) and leaves the right side in the dark (hair/neck/back). This creates shadows on the model's back. The model is sitting on a bench and is slightly turned to the left. Most of the torso is included to show the rotation in the positioning. The photo was taken using a tripod at eye level. Based on the lighting, black and white, and expression of the model, the photo is trying to convey a sad/serious message. The shadows and strong contrast between the black and white help to create a mysterious tone, like she has something heavy on her mind.
Comparison: When comparing the black and white photo to the first photo with the old fashioned camera, the differences are clear. The overall mood of the first photo is fun and spontaneous, while the black & white is almost depressing. These differences are partly due to the differences in the lighting. The lighting straight on is brighter and lighter than the black & white. There is also more visual interest in the first photo because there is a busier subject matter to look at. The camera has many buttons and details and the model is wearing different jewelry, providing a lot for the viewer to consider.
