Voluntarily hurting your mind is good. This account is not and does not contain financial or legal advice. It is a hub for speculation and conspiracy theories.
@NeoVoxum Incorrect. Anybody with a flashlight and a collared shirt can confirm this in a dark bathroom.
You are asserting that a fill light can only be placed at 1 static angle.
Thats a silly assertion
@decodedillusion@ShadowofEzra What you are mistaking as skin underneath is the softened shadow from the chin. Like the neck, it moves when somebody talks.
So confusion is understandable
The rest of that shadow is “filled in” by the fill light which the collar is casting a shadow from.
@Dog85French@TripWildermuth@ShadowofEzra Actually yes because the only difference is a lack of shadows in the facial features, due to the—-wait for it…
Excessive fill light.
It’s funny because it is light and shadow that brings information to the eye in order to have something be discerned as visual evidence in the first place.
Your mind is made up. You probably walk towards mirages in the desert and when somebody says “it’s a mirage”, you say “No! The lake keeps crawling away!”
It’s not a mask dude.
Soft key light shining down from above the camera
Hard fill light off to the side causing the the collar to cast a shadow (used to fill in neck wrinkles)
The two shadows cancel each other out to create the illusion of separation (hard collar shadow + soft chin shadow)
Vanity lighting has its drawbacks
That’s a shadow caused by low angle fill light. The key light (above the camera and reflecting on his shiny head) cancels part of the shadow out creating the illusion of a seam or separation.
This is because one shadow is hard (from the fill light), and the other is soft (from the key)
The soft shadow of his chin moving makes it look like a neck is moving underneath a mask
@YourAnonOne The reflections in his shiny head tells the story of where the lights are.
The shadow of his collar reveals that him (or his pr person) want his neck wrinkles filled in
No, it’s not. I worked in tv. Filters don’t leave shadows. Lights do. More lights equals more exposure less shadows. Less shadows mean less visible wrinkles.
This is why people use ring lights. Infinite angles of light (in the shape of a ring) equals no shadows, thus the subject looks supernaturally young
@JKash000 It’s not a filter, it’s just an attempt at flattering lighting. Similar to what a ring light does, except in this case it’s not circular ring they just used a separate lights at more angles
The result looks filter like.
