As my idea is to use lighting to reflect and enhance the emotion portrayed in an image, I have done some research into images which do this. The first image utilises high contrast and bright lighting to invoke a feeling of happiness in the viewer, which is the emotion being shown by the model in this image. The second image I think is really interesting in that it has faded colours and a tint that represents the sad emotion shown by the model. This is a definite possibility for the style I want to explore in my series. The third image is showing sadness through darkness and a close up shot, however, the high contrast still in this image is something I want to address as I don't want the darker images of my series to be quite this bold. I like how you can't see the background in this image because of the dim lighting however - it works nicely to make the face the focal point of the image, which draws the viewer in and takes the negative feelings shown in this image to a new level. The fourth image is something I want to explore in my series also. I like the way some of the background is lit, but fades out quickly to black - this could potentially be a transition to a photo modelled on the previous image which has a completely black background.
