Paint over paint over paint over!

Guess who found a fun stipple brush and went a bit... dotty over it? Couldn't decide on the colours though, so there's a mad colour version below the cut.

Writing Notes: Psychological Abuse

Hart, Binggeli, and Brassard (1998, pp. 32–33) have pointed out that psychological maltreatment not only stands alone but is often embedded in other forms of maltreatment. They identified 6 major types of psychological maltreatment:

Spurning - includes belittling, shaming, and public humiliation

Terrorizing - includes caretaker behavior that threatens or is likely to physically hurt, kill, abandon, or place the child in a dangerous situation

Isolating - generally involves placing unreasonable limitations on the child’s freedom of movement

Exploiting/corrupting - includes modeling, permitting, or encouraging antisocial behavior, or developmentally inappropriate behavior

Denying emotional responsiveness - generally considered to be ignoring the child’s needs

Mental health, medical, and educational neglect - involves ignoring the need for, or failing or refusing to allow or provide treatment for serious emotional/behavioral problems, physical health problems, and/or educational problems

Child Maltreatment

The accepted definition of child maltreatment reported in Garbarino, Guttman, and Seeley (1987) came from the Interdisciplinary Glossary on Child Abuse and Neglect:

“The definitions of emotional abuse include verbal or emotional assault, close confinement and threatened harm. The definitions of emotional neglect include inadequate nurturance/affection, knowingly permitting maladaptive behavior (for example, delinquency) and other refusal to provide essential care” (pp. 4–5).

A child is considered to be emotionally or psychologically abused when he or she is the subject of acts or omissions by the parents or other persons responsible for the child’s care that have caused, or could cause, a serious behavioral, cognitive, emotional, or mental disorder.

In some cases of emotional or psychological abuse, the acts of the parents or other caretakers alone, without any harm to the child’s behavior or condition, are sufficient to warrant intervention by a child protective services agency.

An example would be if the parents or caretakers used extreme or bizarre forms of punishment, such as habitual scapegoating, belittling, or rejecting treatment.

Demonstrable harm to the child is often required before a child protective services agency is able to intervene (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1992, p. 3).

“Nosferatu” was amazing but definitely see it in theaters if you can because Robert Eggers was doing that Robert Eggers thing where he uses exactly one (1) candle to light a scene and you need all the help you can get to see

Most unrealistic part of Link Click is Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang should be saying a bunch of photography jargon all the time. I know photographers, and I know they think everything they say is simultaneously normal common knowledge and the coolest obscurest fact of all time

I speak that language, and I bet Qiao Ling would, too, for the same reasons

but does Xiao Li?

Chen Bin?

Li Tianchen?

Fucking Hat Guy?

Link Click writers please acknowledge that photographers are all inherently freaks and confuse the fuck out of anyone unprepared for lighting and camera model fact overload thanks

Rembrandt Lighting in Portrait Photography: A Classic Approach to Dramatic Lighting

What is Rembrandt Lighting?

Rembrandt lighting is a classic lighting technique that creates a small triangle of light on the shadowed side of the subject’s face. This effect occurs when the main light source is positioned at an angle that illuminates one side of the face while leaving the other in shadow, with a small portion of light hitting the cheekbone just beneath the eye. This type of lighting is commonly used in studio portrait photography because of its ability to add mood and depth to an image.

Example of Rembrandt Lighting

How to Create Rembrandt Lighting in a Studio

Creating Rembrandt lighting in a photography studio is straightforward if you follow these steps:

Position Your Light Source – Place your key light at approximately 45 degrees to the side of your subject and slightly above eye level. This angle allows the light to fall naturally on one side of the face while leaving the other in shadow.

Adjust the Subject’s Position – Ask your subject to turn slightly away from the light until a small triangle of light appears on the shadowed cheek. The triangle should be no wider than the eye and should not extend beyond the nose.

Use a Reflector or Fill Light (Optional) – If the shadows are too harsh, you can use a reflector or a fill light on the opposite side to soften them slightly, but maintaining the contrast is key to the Rembrandt effect.

Control the Background – A dark or neutral background enhances the dramatic impact of Rembrandt lighting, drawing focus to the subject’s face.

Experiment with Modifiers – Softboxes, grids, and barn doors can help shape and control the light for a more refined effect.

Who Was Rembrandt van Rijn?

Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669) was a Dutch painter and printmaker, widely regarded as one of the greatest artists of the Baroque period. He was known for his masterful use of light and shadow (chiaroscuro), which gave his paintings an unparalleled sense of depth and realism. Many of his portraits and self-portraits showcase the very lighting technique that bears his name today. His ability to capture human expression and emotion continues to inspire photographers and artists worldwide.

Incorporating Rembrandt Lighting into Your Portrait Work

Rembrandt lighting is particularly effective for studioportraits, fashion photography, and artistic headshots.
