If sculpture form is strong but lighting is wrong what problem will appear in photo?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Volume and surfaces will not appear clear
Appropriate lighting creates highlights, shadows and tonal contrast on a sculpture, making its volume, projections, depth and surface texture visible. With poorly directed or overly flat light, these cues become weak and the form may look unclear or flat in a photograph. Lighting does not automatically correct proportion. Exam tip: while analysing a sculpture photograph, observe the highlight and shadow areas that reveal its form.
