The Art of Lighting Dark Skin for Film and HD. Here are some practical and artistic tips from a working cinematographer on how to ensure dark skin "drinks in colors" on camera.
Every shade and hue offers its own unique challenges and glorious opportunities for the cinematographer to create art. Anyone with a basic knowledge of lighting can get a decent exposure when filming non-white skin. But I want to discuss the art.

Last summer, the Michigan town of Grosse Pointe Park erected a farmer's market in the middle of one of the few remaining streets that allowed cars to pass between the tony suburb and the urban Detroit neighborhoods at its border.
It was the latest of many attempts by Grosse Pointe Park residents to close off roads and block traffic between what has become a predominantly white, affluent suburb, and its poorer, urban neighbor. There were protests about the border, and Grosse Pointe Park later said it would tear down the farmer's market and re-open the road, but the incident speaks volumes to the segregation that exists in Detroit, and the tensions that can grow as a result. Racially concentrated areas of affluence, by the researchers' definition, are census tracts where 90 percent or more of the population is white and the median income is at least four times the federal poverty level, adjusted for the cost of living in each city. It's Mostly Whites, Not Blacks Who Prefer to Live in Segregated Neighborhoods. In today’s New York Times, David Leonhardt discusses a new study showing that middle-income white and Asian Americans tend to live in middle-class neighborhoods, while middle-income black Americans tend to live in poorer ones.
The article was published just as the U.S. Supreme Court narrowly upheld the federal government’s power to fight housing discrimination, and is a reminder that racial segregation remains a powerful force in shaping the American metropolis. But Leonhardt also repeats one unfounded and damaging canard to explain segregation’s origins. “Of course, the neighborhood gap arises in part from voluntary choices,” Leonhardt writes.
“Many Americans, of all races, prefer to live among people who are similar to them … For African-Americans, such a choice often means living in lower-income areas, given the racial disparity in incomes.” Hard to see racism when you are white. Leçon de savoir-vivre sur Internet par une jeune femme Sikh. Sur Reddit, une jeune femme Sikh a répondu à des moqueries lui étant adressées, et ça a créé un touchant phénomène de respect et de politesse. Lorsqu’un utilisateur de Reddit, répondant au doux nom d’european_douchebag (connard européen), a posté la photo d’une jeune femme Sikh, prénommé Balpreet, accompagnée du commentaire « Je ne sais pas quoi en conclure… » il ne se doutait sûrement pas de ce que ça allait engendrer.
Quand les amis de Balpreet sont tombés sur cette photo, ils l’ont immédiatement mise au courant de sa célébrité accidentelle – et plutôt que de péter un câble, de pleurer dans son coin ou de contacter le FBI, elle a décidé de répondre directement au post d’european_douchebag. Voici sa réponse : « Salut tout le monde. Je suis Balpreet Kaur, la fille de la photo.Je n’étais pas au courant de tout ça avant que mes amis ne m’en informent via Facebook. Et juste en-dessous de ce message, elle a rajouté ceci : Déjà, ça pose l’ambiance. The problem is that white people see racism as... But Why Can’t I Wear a Hipster Headdress? Dear Christina Fallin. Dear Christina Fallin, Last night, someone tagged me in the comments of your post on Instagram, a picture of you wearing dark red lipstick and a coordinating warbonnet.
Initially, I just rolled my eyes and closed the window, because since I’ve somehow become an “expert” on white girls in headdresses, I get sent pictures like yours pretty much every. single. day. Why I can’t stand white belly dancers. Google the term “belly dance” and the first images the search engine offers are of white women in flowing, diaphanous skirts, playing at brownness.
