Assignment over Break:
Take 5 pictures over break that utilize studio lighting. Your subject can be anything at all, from objects to people. But they must meet the following guidelines...

1) Background is a solid color. It can be black, white, grey, red, blue...whatever color you want. But the background should be solid. You can use paper or fabric of any kind. 

2) By now you probably have a favorite light type (soft or hard). Your images can be of any of them, but there must be at least 1 soft or hard. 
         For example, I can have 4 hard light photos, but I need 1 soft light photo. 
                               I can have 4 soft light photos, but I need 1 hard light photo.
                               I can have 3 hard light photos, but I need 2 soft light photos
                              Etc...     

3) They images should be qood quality! That means not blurry or out of focus!
