The image is on a bright field setting. I think the light is being shined through a surface to help spread light. The image is shot at a low angel to make an interesting halo with the cup opening. Christ uses photo collaging to make the milk splash up from the bottom of the cup. This could have taken at least six images to put together for this one interesting image. While the primary tone of the image is very bright and clean the details in the cup rim and bottom really bring the work together.

Image is shoot on dark field set and lit from above. This is a sharp contrast color image with motion. The use of a neutral tone blue to contrast the mini rubric cubes was smart and captivating. The image is shot straight forward to emphasis the motion of the water as it settles from the splash. The contrast from the lower half the hand helps to keep the eye focused on the cup and contents.
