This is one way you can shoot this in the studio. We have the seamless black background, and we have a reflector. You might want to have a friend hold the reflector up for you.
FOR THIS PHOTO CHALLENGE, you will shoot two photos featuring low key lighting, see example above. You can use the studio for the portrait shots, or shoot at night at a low ISO number and faster shutter speed. You will want to take many shots and adjust the aperture or shutter speed until you are happy with the results.
You are encouraged to use off camera flash, either with a Godox Speedlight and soft-box, or using one of the strobes. This could be done in the classroom at the front of the room or in the studio.

REQUIRED RESPONSE: Reply to this post with two ideas for this photo challenge. Give me as many details as you can and write in complete sentences.
I could probably shoot a picture of someone who loves the sport basketball and have them just calmly looking at the hoop with the ball on there side holding it with one hand. I could also just shoot the basketball hoop itself.
One idea is to show a hand reaching towards the camera (very obviously inspired by the cover of SOAD’s self titled debut).
Another is to have a person laying on top of a table, with their arms extended upwards. The bottom of the frame is just above where the table would become viable. I’m not entirely sure how well that would work with the lighting necessary to do this.
A third is a portrait of a person holding their breath, which could be a metaphor for something.
I was thinking of doing a photo of a car under a street lamp. And a ad-like photo of something, I’ve not yet figured that out.
