From "Sculpted Portraits" series

I've been making very small sculptures of faces out of air-dry clay and then photographing them against various backgrounds, and experimenting with various types of lighting. This is just the ambient light from my window, at 8pm in July in New York, and the sculpted face is lying on his background on my table, with the light coming from "underneath" him, that is, his head is pointed away from the window. Gives him kind of a haunted look.
