Roberto, I agree that each lighting arrangement has its potentials for emotional overtones and character interpretation. <br /><br />I didn't get into a few other variables of portrait lighting, such as soft vs. hard light, lighting ratio between key and fill, and colors of light, all of which add many more choices!

It’s r...Thanx for this series on portrait lighting. It’s really great to see all these lighting options together, and on the same subject. One usually sees different options on different subjects, or from different paintings… but seeing them all on such a well known and descriptive subject is very helpful. <br />What I am struck by is how much emotional content and expression can be suggested simply by the choice of lighting. In all of these examples the subject’s features are essentially flat, yet a wide range of emotion and psychological content is read into the image as a result of the lighting. The effect can be strengthening with complementary facial features and color schemes, or made ambiguous or subtle with contradictory facial expressions and color schemes. <br />Excellent posts, James, and I’m looking forward to your new book! -RQRobertohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01751501281929627657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-75950682945456836082010-05-29T22:31:46.374-04:002010-05-29T22:31:46.374-04:00All of these posts on lighting are superb!
