Light and Scale
Natural Light
When photographing my room with a natural light source of sun coming from my balcony window at 8am, the shadows are very soft and blend into the back drop/ background subtly.
Similar results but with a 1:20 scale figure standing outside on the balcony porch, the shadows are gently casted in the upper basement, outlining the curves of the roof and lines within the stairs.
The natural lighting entering from the door and top allows the inside of the room and geometric flooring to come to life.
Flash Light
By using a lamp/ flashlight from another phone immediately there is a strong difference, it gives a very cosy and how vibe as well as contrast is much more evident and the light is sharper opposed to natural lighting.
The advantages of using a flash light allows me to vary how dark/ light I want the shadows to display e.g the left image has the flashlight far away from the model (roughly 1m), while the right one has the light source very close (roughly where the image was cropped)
Further examples of how a flash light can enhance movement, pathways, shapes, line and shadows within the space. What once use to be a black/ grey sliding door is now a warm yellow through the power of light.
