3 headed lighting kit.
With three lights, you have enough power to create realistic lighting for a scene, and also avoid any unwanted shadows. This particular setup can be used for numerous lighting scenarios including interview lighting, portraits, headshots, or product photography.Different light modifiers will evoke different feelings. Barndoors can create a dramatic effect or highlight a certain feature on your subject that you may be trying to emphasize. Softboxes give you that nice natural diffused light that makes everything just a bit softer and gives a very flattering look to your subject.You can use a 3 point set up for both indoor and outdoor shoots. However, be advised that you might have to use gels to change the color temperature of the light to achieve the right look depending where you shoot and with what types of lights.As you can see in the diagram, the Key light and Fill lights are at about a 45 degree angle from the camera. The Key light will be the most powerful light source in the scene. You will want to keep the Fill & Back lights at a lower intensity to compliment the Key by filling in the rest of the light. That way, you will achieve a soft, even light.

Inspirational photographer
Lee Towndrow is a Canadian commercial and portrait photographer based in New York. His photographs branch out to having many ideas and being able to be questioned for hours without an answer.
The reason why i chose Lee Towndrow as my inspirational photographer is because i can stare at his photograph's for hours and still find hidden meanings and reasons to why he captured these image's.
this first one shows two men in the foreground smoking (most probally cannabis) and another old man in the background sitting on what appears to be a door step.
One idea i had to why he took this photo is that he captured this moment in time to show conflict between the media's perception, on how the media portray's teenagers, to being bad and doing drugs. Where as they portray old people, as being good and they do no drugs and no smoking. Another idea i have is to show culture, the three characters are wearing plain weared down clothes witch could be seen as poor clothing or cheap. This image is like a pause in there daily life routine. he also shows form very well usimg shadows creating a diagonal line slicing through the first two characters, the strange thing is that there heads are in the shadow but there body's are in the light. this is unorthodox as when someone capturing an image of someone would preferbally have there faces in the light and not so much there bodies.
theses are some other photographs that lee towndrow has captured.
