Properties of Light




Hi everyone,

In regards to light on the shadow side of the face, let us not forget the simple natural properties. Light travels in a straight line and cannot turn a corner.

If a section on the shadow side of the face is lit (i.e. the side of the mouth), it is due to a "puffiness" characteristic of that person. Start eliminating these characteristics for the sake of an academic point of view and you change the anatomy of that person. A simple fact.

Dan
