Tense Maggie

Tense Maggie: For this photo, the aim was to create the opposite
emotion of serenity, or stress. By using the the Angle of Incident
Equals the Angle of Reflection law of light, the main light source was
positioned low to the ground, to the bottom left hand side of the
subject. A small hand mirror was used to reflect a small patch of light
onto Maggie's right eye. The resulting effect is an almost
jack-o-lantern portrait in which the main features of the subject's face
are broken up into various shaped shadows, resulting in a stressed out,
unsettling effect. The Inverse Square Law is also shown in the falloff of light from right to left on Maggie's shoulders. |
