Scenography

There are specific staged environments and modes of lighting I use for shooting artefacts, objects, based on the intended composition, detail, clarity and depth; however, most of the Mise-en-Place are intended for either one of two objectives; academic and scientific purposes or artistic purposes. Rarely, both are required, but, it can be achieved. In that instance, lighting becomes the most significant factor in the scenography of artefact and object shooting. Differences between various modes of optics and lighting is the conundrum in photography, but the performative value of such small distinctions produce great differences over the final images.
