8. See example below:Open Space
Lighting an open space is used to accentuate lines that lead the viewer's vision off the page, implying the image reveals only a portion of the whole.
Closed Space
Lighting for a closed space helps support the image of a smaller, more intimate space. Lines tend to lead the view back within itself.
Open Figure
Lighting open figures tends to accentuate the eyes, leading the viewer's gaze off the page towards whatever the figure is seeing.
Closed Figure
Lighting a closed figure does not feature the eyes, but instead lights the body in such a way that the viewer's gaze is not encouraged to leave the page.
