13,000 breads went just fucking fine without changing procedure.
Sometimes zooming in leaves out important data.
“Look at the bigger picture”
It’s not difficult to spot the unholy washing out light source when the table is present in the shot because it provides a point of reference for the spot light.
His collar is casting shadow upwards because spot light is positioned lower than his head.
There’s multiple light sources of different sizes and colors.
Each light source casts a shadow.
Shadow softness is determined by light size and position.
Thank you.
Light source reflecting on edge of table
If the light were above it would be dispersed on top of table instead of edge.
The light casting the shadow on the neck is likely positioned right in front of table/talkers but out of camera view.
