Figure 1.7 A fashion photograph displays 1-point lighting.
Modern painters have also made use of 1-point lighting. For example, in Fig-
ure 1.8 a boxing match is lit by a single strong source from frame left. As with the
work illustrated in Figures 1.4 and 1.5, there is an extremely soft fill present; the fill
lights the back of the rightmost boxer. The painter, George Bellows (1882–1925), was
a member of the Modern School movement; he sought to portray the gritty reality of
urban life.
