A fundamental element to developing my images further is introducing the use of gel lighting which will enable me to recreate the illusion of thermal patterns such as those seen within my research. As i have previously never used gel lighting this came as an experimental session whereby I played with laying different colours of gel over the beauty dish and box to see what effects were most flattering. I found this session useful as I learnt how simply these effects can be created but also how much of an impact they create. Through using the gels in such a manner I feel confident that I will be able to recreate the thermal effects seen within my research.
Purple Gels: Good for cool thermal tones, needs to be swapped on lights as it is too bright on the face.
Green Gels: Lighting again is too bright on the face and green isn't a useful tone for my project, it does however photograph beautifully and could be applied as a highlight tone.
