This photo is a photo my friend took of me the other day. It shows the importance of light placement in photography. Most photographers don't take photos with the sun in this position because it casts shadows over the subject's face. However, I think that with this photograph the effect kind of works to create an artistic vibe. It creates more of a narrative as well. I think this principle could be applied to lighting design, as we have started to see in class. Shadows typically tell a story on the subject, as more villainous characters tend to be in shadow. But it can also be done for effect.
