For our lighting assignment I decided to have a little bit of fun and focus very heavily on the artistic side of lighting, specifically referencing chiaroscuro for how to light the subject.
chiaroscuro, (from Italian chiaro, “light,” and scuro, “dark”), technique employed in the visual arts to represent light and shadow as they define three-dimensional objects. Britannica
In hindsight, I think I could have pushed the lighting further to be more dramatic, but being limited to three-point lighting setup, I think it works for what is needed.
Playing with the different temperature of the lights did also help create a better story for the statue. Warmer lighting next to the bird's neck and a dim light behind the man help imply a story taking place.
