Wooden Bust

"Wooden Bust"
The family and I spent some time in Costa Rica several years ago ( before children), and we came home with this lovely carved piece of wood. We met her in Playa del Coco. I always liked the lines of the young lady, but was not sure how to light her. Do you go with a small light source and create hard shadows, or a large source and create quick falloff? In the end, I went with the middle choice. I used a strip light at camera-left, and used a piece of foamcore at camera-right, about a foot from our model. It creates just a bit of fill light on her side, and separates her from the background. While I do enjoy using multiple lights, sometimes one light is enough. Simple, but to the points!! Thanks for dropping in.
