Back to the Renaissance



This painting is from the Renaissance. The renaissance is from the 14th to 17th century.The original painting is of Napolean Bonaparte. Napolean was an early explorer. He was a general of a french army. The camera I chose to use is the Canon Rebel, I shot at a shutter speed of 50 because I wanted to be able to get in as much light as possible. I looked at the lighting of the original then after multiple trials I finally got the correct lighting. I moved the lights up and down to change the shadow on his forehead. I also moved the lights further and closer to Tabe's face to create a different lighting. The original picture has more light on the right side of his face so I also did this to Tabe's face to make it look more alike. I found this image in an art history book. Once i found this pictrue it interested me. The lighting on his face created little shadow from his nose. I though the lighting would be a challange to recreate. I then took the final picture and cropped his face into it. I changed the contrast and saturation to make the colour of the skin the same. I then shrunk his face and cropped out his body, to ensure it looked like it was his actual face.
