we've all seen photos of the subject lit from the front. that's how we view things, it's boring. it's how we see shit every day. from our our car's headlights, a flashlight to see in the dark. or light from above, like the sun, or a lamp. we've seen it all before.
ever compared a scene captured from eye level versus waist level? same principle.
with this theme, i was trying to change the way you see things before you photograph it. i was hoping for different results overall, but perhaps it was useful to some.
cheers.

maybe you just needed to be more specific in the theme. Something like, you can only use 1 light source and it has to be altered in some way. That way most of the results would have amplified the effect because it was the ONLY light source for the photo.
Looking back, if I had done my photo in a pitch black room with the diffused light off the wall as my only light, it woulda been a MUCH different Photo.
