Lighting Observation

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: I was cutting out an image of a woman’s silhouette, and was lifting it up to pull it out of the page. Because it was on bristol board, it stood straight up. Light was hitting the standing silhouette from two angles, casting two shadows. Once was very sharp and was not distorted, the other was darker but a lot more distorted.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: This image was very interesting. Not only was there the silhouette cut out, there was the empty space in the bristol where it had been, and the two shadows of course. In this space, one cut out shape created four heads, all of which look different. It is interesting that the two shadows, cast by the same shape, can be so drastically different.
