3. Single artificial light source

4. This lighting effect is done with a single light source from the ground. This picture really shows how much effect a single light can have on an image and on the mind. With just one light specifically placed, this went from what could’ve been a flat looking image of a handsome young man standing, to a menacing dark and frightening picture. The high contrast adds a lot of mystery, which makes you feel uncertain, making you wonder if this person who seems nice is really actually stable. If the lighting were placed from above, there would have been an entirely different feel to this image.
