Exercise 2 Expressive Lighting

                            Old Woman Reading a Lectionary by Gerard Do, 1630, oil on pastel
If this painting was shot today for a film the light source would come from the lower left corner of the portrait.




In my photograph i tried to create the same shot by positioning my light source towards the lower left hand side of the shot. I titled my light source at an angle to attempt to mimic the shadows that are shows in the portrait. I feel that this is a passable recreation of the painting that could be used for film or video today.
