on lighting and labs.

professor: and as you can see on the dummy's face, the shadows are cast heavily. your aperture setting would be affected by the amount of reflected light as well.
bots: how much would you have to adjust the stops if you were photographing someone who wasn't caucasian?
professor: well, that is a different story. dark-skinned people would probably be another f-stop. or maybe even two depending on how dark they are.
bots: not to mention back lighting.
professor: yeah, that might just dark them out completely. anyone else tried to photograph a darker skinned person?
fellow student: no, but i have a black lab?
professor: *sigh* yeah, it's like that.
