I think this picture is interesting because it captures lighting from an single side but yet it cheats in that one still gets a reflection off of the grapes and tomatoes where there is no direct light shining on it.
I really like this picture because it gives almost a surreal snapshot of the guy, giving him a stoic aesthetic to match his soldier appearance. The lighting creates a brightness to the soldier but still leaves a almost mysterious vibe to him.
I really like the second pictures you posted of the knight. The use of light portrays a very somber mood. Also, you get a sense of fear with the downcast look of the knight and blacking out half his face.
ReplyDeleteThe objects of the first picture reflect so clearly that it is clear where the light source is coming from. I really like the addition of a shadow over the leaves which kind of adds focus on the fruits and mantle. And I think the light is directly on the grapes, but I do see how the artist could be cheating in that the tomato is on the shadow yet it is still lit.
