Eye Light Relflection

For this photo we had to reflect any shape in the eye of our model. To do this we used studio lights and black paper. We covered most of the frame with black paper except for the middle. When then cut a shape out of a different black piece of paper. We placed that piece of paper with the shape cut out in the center of the light. That way the light would only go through the center and only the heart would be shown in the reflection. We then pointed the light in the face of our model and had them stare to the slide of the light so it wouldn't harm them. I used the "no flash" mode in my dial in order for it no to interfere with the light of the studio. Thats how I was able to get the shape of a heart on her eyes. The f-stop used was 5.6 and the shutter speed was 1/30.
