Against the light

Where it shines

Window light, still lifes and quiet interiors, where a few bright areas sit in shade. Bright glass, petals and fabric keep their detail.

What to watch

The green filter darkens skin a little, as both portraits show. Shadows still go deep, and flat light gives it little to work with.
