This website contains everything about lighting you would need to know from what lighting gives of a certain mood to how to create shadow effects.
The lighting in this picture was taken from the front but slightly to the right as the shadow was created behind the object but to the left. The light is quite bright but it still gives a mysterious and good effect. The shadow gives it a effect that there is another cross but it is just the shadow on the back ground. It is quite a plan image and there isn't really a great deal of colour involved in this picture just black and white. The main focus on this picture is on the cross as it has a bolder colour and stands out on the white back ground. The shadow effect changes the mood as if you were to change where the camera was the shadow would be a different shape place and size. It's almost as if someone who has died is watching over it, as crosses are normally associated with death and by the shadow being there and it could be gone or larger one minute. I think this is why the mysterious factor of this picture is there because there isn't really a story behind the picture it's just plain and unknowing what the cross could represent in this image or wanting to get across.
