No more light only darkness.
No more her; only madness.
Tormenting, reflecting him.
Shadows shroud the mannequin.
From a poem: “Mannequin” by Michael John Griffiths
or Sisyphus Takes a Break
Mostly out of curiosity, I downloaded the Reddit app and signed up. Much of what's on there makes me cringe or shake my head, but I've been spending time at their Photoshop subreddit. I've been learning some things as I look at what folks have submitted for critique. Composite photo montages are extremely popular there. Something many submitters ask is how to make an element blend better into the scene. Commonalities seem to be not paying attention to light sources, and not knowing much about shadows.
That prompted me to set up some things and shoot photos at various times of day to study contact shadows and cast shadows. This is one of the shots.
Mannequin's right foot is off the ground so there isn't a contact shadow there, but there are at the other foot and where parts of its body contact the ball and where the ball contacts the shelf.
I thought at first this would be a simple set up, but then I noticed that there is light reflected from the shelf upward onto the ball and mannequin, from the ball to the mannequin and from the mannequin to the ball.
New Mexico is a strange place for shadows. We're so high in elevation that in direct sunlight, shadows here don't behave the same as at lower elevations. The edges are more crisp. There isn't the same fall-off of density as the shadow gets farther from that which is casting it.
I had to shoot this photo before the sunlight directly hit the shelf in order to see the gradations of density.
Painters study light and shadows, but rarely do photographers. And if folks are going to be trying for photorealistic montage, they also need to know about light and shadows. As a result of these shadow study photos, back at Reddit I've been recommending that the compositors set up an action figure (all of them are guys in their teens and twenties it seems) and a desk lamp to see the directions that shadows are cast from a source and the gradations of density between contact and cast shadows and within cast shadows.

After a morning shopping in the town of Drachten, I finally found some Mannequins with heads and nice hair, clothes and make-up! Pity the window is reflecting so much

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. With an old-fashioned term for a model being 'mannequin', this shot tickled my imagination. I loved the way he was leaning against the wall with his model looks and stylish dress. Enjoy!

La robe était authentiquement ancienne. Elle avait appartenu à ma grand-mère, et pourtant ce n'était pas son genre, elle que je n'ai connue que vieille dame, d'un genre plutôt austère. La robe était abandonnée dans une malle oubliée dans un grenier à Dax, dans les Landes. Mon grand-père y était un pharmacien connu dans tout le département. C'était non seulement un honnête homme, mais surtout un homme foncièrement honnête. Ce n'est pas toujours le cas...
