High Side and Shinbuster zoomed
Above:
Compare this next image to the one above.
- Notice how the high side throws a shadow of one leg onto the other leg, whereas the shin-buster easily lights underneath the legs.
- Does the soft focus of the high side (bottom) make them appear more relaxed?
- These are very similar set-ups; except that the positions for each source are coming from opposite direction, and one high side is focused sharply.
| Below: Notice the awkward shadow on her face, cast by his face - and the fact that the high side isn't hitting that side of her. | |
| Above: Here the shinbuster helps emphasize the line of her legs. | |
| Below: The line of her right leg is interrupted by the shadow from her left leg. | |
| When only using side lights, the face (and body) get a shadow line down the center. | |
