I created two images communicating an emotion of the
subject. The top image is intended to convey a calm and relaxed emotion within
the subject, while the bottom image intends to express a tense mood of the
subject. The laws of light that can be seen in these two images are the law
that light travels in a straight line as well as the inverse square law. Light
traveling in a straight line is evident in the first image, of the relaxed
subject, because the light traveling from the top right portion of the image is
traveling in a straight line and therefore blocked by the subject creating a
shadow on the left side of the image, underneath her face and on the side of
her arm. In the lower image, of the tense subject, the inverse square law is
demonstrated through the decrease of intensity as the light continues up the
subject’s face to the top of the image and away from the light source, which
was below and front of the subject.
