Volume Perspective by Becky

This perspective is based on lighting. Diffused lighting cause difficulty in seeing the form or volume of the object because of the lack of distinct shadows. Strong directional lighting from angles causes the object to be fully lit and other parts to be shadowed which creates a visual clue of the subject's form or volume. When a number of such objects are included within the picture area, the perception of form, volume and depth is increased. When front or side lighting is used, the length, depth, and shape of the shadows cast on the ground provide a perspective of each object's volume. Also, the distance between shadows cast on the ground helps you to perceive the overall depth of the scene.
