This is a shot taking of a front light. I like this one because the shadow is almost the same size of the toy itself. The light in the front direction makes it looks like walking toward the camera. Also, the contrast between its dark shadow body, the black background and its lighting head makes its head more stand out from the photo.
Beautiful. In this photo the light is 180 degrees from the camera and we call this back light. Front light is from the camera position.
it is lovely how the light draws an outline around the stuffed animal.
