There are no hard-
and-fast rules for
“segmenting” an im-
age into sections. I
look for common to-
nality, shadow lines,
and even how the
lines of the mod-
el shape a space. In
this case, this area
was defined - as far
as my eye was con-
cerned - by her tor-
so, the window, and
the fact that this sec-
tion was so much
brighter.
←
Experience suggest-
ed that this segment
was much darker to
the eye of the cam-
era than it was to
mine. The shadow at
the base of her shoe
helped me see that.
This area is at least
2 F-stops darker
than the area of Car-
olyne-Marie’s face
and upper torso.
