Photography F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 01 10:53 pm)
My eyes are still the one of the beginner so I guess you have to wait more apt comments than mine to improve, but as onlooker of the composition, this works.My only wish would be that BOTH eyes of the standing doll could be seen, at least that also the disappeared one (covered from shadow) could be perceivable to make the doll more lively. But the whole scen is very pleasant to the eye.
Nice, sharp image..... I also think a little more lighting coming in from the left would be nice.... a reflector maybe to just fill in the shadow slightly, but not completely.
I am, therefore I create.......

It always depends on the mood you want to create. Here, the mood seems sort of dark and sinister. With a point-source light from the side you get really deep, sharp, shadows. A broader source of light, like from window, would still have deep shadows, but the edges would be less dark. A reflector, like Michelle suggested, would lighten up the shadows. [A good way to practice lighting is by photographing eggs.]
Dramatically different results as far as mood goes. I actually kinda like the darker mood, but then, I've always thought that porcelain dolls were pretty dark and creepy.

The only lighting in the room is provided by a single desk lamp. Photoshop was used to convert to black & white, and to adjust the contrast.
All comments are welcome. I'm hoping your comments will help me to improve.
