Portrait of Bloggers by Computer Light (Current ARTicle)

A. What do you guys think about the lighting and portraits?

I found that the light was very front of the face in order to highlight the bloggers profile rather than the surrounding setting.  The rooms where usually dark with the exception to additional lighting from a hall light, or television set, and of course their laptops. In various photos, the colors of red and blue are very prominent and highlight along side the bloggers' faces, as well as setting pieces like a couch, refridgerator, and other homely items.

B. How could you apply some of the lighting techniques to this class?
I would have to do more frontal lighting and a add a bigger contrast in dark versus light setting, along side diverse light positioning.

C. Everybody is blogging, tweeting, updating statuses, checking in, tumbling, how can this be beneficial to the art community? 

The internet involvement in at is beneficial in the sense that new artwork is spread across the world faster and more and more people can access it. The more access people of different backgrounds have to various artworks, the more opinions an artist can be subjected to and there are more opportunities for exposure into the Art world.

This was my favorite due to the utilization of the red wall in contrast to the dark lighting. It also accomplishes the task of highlighting the blogger himself, and the lighting adds to the serious tone of the photo and his posture.
