The photo assignment was really nothing. No one said anything about it at all. I asked a fellow classmate if she had any idea for it or knew anything about it. We discussed it and then asked input from our teacher. The picture we were thinking of was just him going to be in front of a computer. Our teacher told us to literally spotlight him. 

My partner thought that we would need a coozie, but but our teacher told us we wouldn't need one. We took several pictures trying to get the position of the lighting right.We had a slight difficulty with getting the light high enough because of the ceiling. Then, the problem was blocking the light from hitting the background. The second one is one that wasn't put in Lightroom and have the background darkened. 

Looking back I realize that if we had something like black paper on the back side of the flash, but not right on top of the flash we could have blocked the light from hitting the background. Then, we wouldn't have had to go into Lightroom and make the background darker. That would have required a third person to hold the paper. Yes, it would have been more difficult, but I believe you get it looking closest to what you want on the camera instead of using the computer to do it.  I feel like if we had a third person this picture would have been so much better and easier looking.
