Project 57; The Lighting angle.


A good silhouette in the first shot with the light source from behind. The next two show the effect of the light source from behind and to the side. Again the position of the light source enhances the edges of the subject.


The first shot uses the light source on the right side and below the subject, it makes the eyes look slightly creepy. The second is to the left and from in front, the effect here dumbs down the facial features. The third is taken with the light source from in front.


The first photo uses the light source on the right side. the second on the left and the third from in front and slightly above. The middle photo is probably the best 3D effect of the series and is my preferred, I like the even overall lighting and the slight modeling effect .



The first photo above has the light above and to the left. The second has the light source to the left and on the same level. The modeling effect on the nose is very noticeable. The third photo has the light source on the right but below the statue. The colour difference in the material is clear to see.

All there of the above were taken with the light source pointed down at an angle of 45 degrees and moved around the subject. The first shot has a nice modeling affect on the statue. The second one uses the light source behind and above the statue and gives a nice silhouette with some high lights on the shoulder and the robes. This photo and the next make the materials look like teak. The textures on the head of the statue show up well.




The three photos above are shot with the light source from directly above the statue. The first is directly above and slightly to the side. It has a nice modeling affect on the statue. The second is from directly above and slightly to the front of the subject, the lines and details in the face show up well. The final one is taken from directly above and behind. This one shows the edges very well and is almost a silhouette.
