Much like the physician who can’t prescibe medicine — or do surgery — based on a phone call with a patient …. I’m not about to relight anybody else’s work, or make suggestions, without seeing the space — or a graphic representation ( or for that matter, payment).
The sad thing is, you say a D.P. is actually lighting it. I will reserve my harsh judgement for that D.P.’s work and merely say, if he’s calling himself a D.P., then he surely must know the best ways to light something — and must have consciously chosen exactly how he wanted his talent to look.
