What makes a miniatures photograph great?

The focus is on the gun, not interesting
The focus is on the face, better but not yet there

THE LIGHT

Light… we experience it everyday. When there is any light there is nothing. We observe it since we are kids but it’s still so hard to understand and master.
![Page 40: How to take (great) pictures of miniatures](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052606/58f9a5f6760da3da068b4afb/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
The law of light…
![Page 41: How to take (great) pictures of miniatures](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052606/58f9a5f6760da3da068b4afb/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
The inverse square law
INTENSITY OF LIGHT IS INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL TO THE SQUARE OF THE
DISTANCE FROM THE SOURCE OF THE LIGHT
![Page 42: How to take (great) pictures of miniatures](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052606/58f9a5f6760da3da068b4afb/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
The light intensity decreases slower than the distance between the subject
of the light source
