Lighting

The next thing for me to consider is lighting. My idea of using projections means that i will have to test my idea out in the studio to figure out what lighting setup i can use to create the best effect. I am currently planning on using a digital projector either against a black background, or with a lit white background. When trying to sketch a lighting set up i have come up with a few possible problems-

• Flash lighting with a projector- the energy output from the projector will be tiny compared with that of the flash. Will have to use a slightly longer exposure with the house and modelling lights off to counter this.
• Images to project- i will have to find images that are sharp and with a certain degree of contrast so that they can show up clearly on the body.
• Projection on background- when using my black background set up it is possible that some of the projected image will hit the background- i will find a way round this by perhaps aiming the projector from the side.
