This is an experiment where we try to demonstrate the impact that color temperature changes have on the emotional expression of our subject.

The experiment is quite simple: we have a very contrasty backlight scene created by 2 spots mounted close to the ceiling - these we reflect onto dedolight Lightstream reflectors 25 x 25 cm number 2; to provide a wider spread.

To create a color contrast - one side of the face is warmer than the other side. The aim of this rim light is to create an outline on our talent, and the main light that we activate is the small reflector 7 x 10 cm dedolight Lightstream number 2 reflector. This is activated by a dedolight DLED3 Neo bi-color light.

Using the 7 x 10 cm reflector we direct the light so this does not cover the whole face but only parts of the face, to enhance emotional contrasts that we want to create.

We change the color temperature from 4,200 quite warmish to a very bluish color then we get a quite cold and stoic expression and then back to a very warm light where we get a more friendly expression, while our talent does not change any emotional expression on on his face.

This demonstrates how strong color change changes can change the emotional expression of a subject.
