This page shows the results of several (not-so-simple) lighting exercises. Light sources were specified directly in a RIB file with the intention of altering a viewers perception of the "mood" and/or scale of a cluster of simple plain white objects. Particular attention was given to camera placement, framing and the general composition of the objects in the scene.

Emphasis is placed on rear lighting with the light source reflecting back directly under the object.

With some changes in deth of field and camera changes, (lower point of view)
I'm attemtping to display the object as something that appears large.

Changed colors in order to produce interesting effects with shadow colors different from the light sources.
