'Five Wolves' (Wolf 5 - Phase 12) by Shane Wilson
November 05, 2011 Categories: Five Wolves
After working on Wolf 4 for a week (in progress images and notes to follow), I returned to Wolf 5 to finish up the details.
While doing so, I realized that photographing the sculpture from up close was distorting the illusion I am creating for this piece, since the relief was designed to provide the greatest verisimilitude when the work is viewed from a moderate distance, sitting on table or shelf.
This image was taken from a distance of about six feet (two meters) with a moderately zoomed telephoto lens under ambient florescent light (never the most flattering).
