Week #4: Block 9 on the Camino Real

This is my buddy Steven, in character as Gutman during Camino Real. There's a couple of facets of the lighting in this picture that I think are really interesting: the sparkling star shape of the lantern visible at the top of the picture, and the different colors on the two halves of Steven's body. The latter is especially of interest to me because it directly parallels the effect of two of the light choices available to us in class for our projects: the two side lights. If one were to look at Steve in this lighting without knowing anything else about this picture, they might assume he's a shady, slightly ominous character, which would be a fitting description of Gutman.
