Photography Lighting Series

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Sebastian Petrovski's 'Perception is Reality' is a Study of Light

— August 13, 2014 — Fashion
Perception is Reality is a series that compares different photography lighting. By doing so, it shows how drastic a makeover a person can go from bright natural lighting to dimmer manmade illumination. Clearly, the former wins out every time. It makes each model look radiant and youthful while the darker portraits age them quite significantly.

Through the latter use of photography lighting, flaws stand out all the more. Although Melbourne-based photographer Sebastian Petrovski might be teaching people the best ways to snap a selfie, he also shows people that the 'perception of reality' really is dependent on a variety of factors. Photography lighting brings attention to one of these factors. He asks, "If I cannot prove (without doubt) whether what I perceive is real then how can I be certain if I am perceiving at all?"
Trend Themes
1. Photography Lighting - Disruptive innovation opportunities include developing advanced lighting techniques for photography to enhance the perception of reality in images.
2. Natural Lighting - Disruptive innovation opportunities lie in creating technologies or techniques that replicate the benefits of bright natural lighting in indoor settings for photography and other industries.
3. Manmade Illumination - Disruptive innovation opportunities can be found by improving manmade illumination techniques to achieve results that rival bright natural lighting for photography and other applications.
Industry Implications
