Thumbs up One of my practical Tasks

Hi all DPS Members.
Walk through one of 4 practical tasks i will be sending ifn for my Photography course.
I used my youngest daughter as Model.
First task was to set her up next to the window.
Step two she had to be moved away from the window and i had to use a white reflector to get more light on her face.
Stap 3 same as nr 2 but i used black reflector and for the last step i used silver reflector.
Your input will be appreciated.
I used aperture setting,tripod and self timer.
For this task the pictures had to be black and white.
First i will shared the colored versions and with my next upload i will share
the B&W Versions.All my reflectors is hand made.
Thank You All members and friends.

I am always particular to natural lighting, so my favourite is the first one by the window, the highlights are just right, but each have their own identity.

I like the idea of these types of tasks.

Thank you for the input. Nr 2 is to my liking but as you say every capture has its own identity.
Thank you for looking and commenting.

Great project, I had no idea that the colour of a reflector made so much difference to the outcome.
Great work.

Glyn White reflector looks to be best to use for these type of photography.
Silver gives a shiny effect on the face.
White reflects the colors nicely and do give a softer lighting effect on the face.
Black does not reflect light well.
Thank you for looking and commenting.
