Illumination patterns

Illumination patterns refer to the specific ways light is directed onto a surface or an object, influencing how it appears. These patterns help highlight textures, shapes, and details by controlling shadows and brightness. For example, a soft, diffuse light creates gentle shadows for a calm look, while a sharp, focused light produces strong shadows for dramatic effects. In photography and design, choosing the right illumination pattern enhances visual impact and clarity, emphasizing certain features and setting the mood of an image or scene.
