PHOT 202 ~ Continuous Light Sources

For thousands of years, the egg has been considered a prime example of sculptural art. The egg is a perfect piece of sculpture, in the eyes of sculptors and artists. Our dumb little chicken friends have been creating artistic masterpieces without ever giving them a thought.

Because of their sculptural perfection, eggs are extremely easy to light. Using a single continuous source light and no props, students are encouraged to try all of the lighting techniques they have studied to date to create images that are exciting as well as beautiful Beauty is easily created in this case, but excitement is something beyond that. And though it can be difficult with such severe restrictions, students can be successful at generating some surprising and interesting compositions.
