Hello CMIT - Did you miss us? We're back with our Photographer of the Week! This week, I'm proud to present our winner... Kennedy Jones!!! Well done Kennedy, your photo is a wonderful example of low-key lighting - which the club members have been working hard on staging at home. Taking these photos are difficult enough, but on top of that hers is a self-portrait! What a talented club member! This week does not go by without note of our honorable mentions: Susan Kamara & Niyah Belton! Their photos are of family members and they too used low-key lighting to give their photos a more dramatic feel. Whether it was staged or outdoors at the perfect moment, there are plenty of ways to work with lighting. Try it for yourself & be sure to follow our Instagram @cmitphotographyclub ! See you next week!
