“Narcissus” A major project in the Studio Lighting Class (PHO204) is called “Stealing Vermeer.” Working in groups, students must find a painting by Vermeer, Caravaggio (such as this one), or a contemporary and reproduce it photographically. They must duplicate costumes, build sets, and find models to create the image. And of course, the lighting must match that of the original. The final result must be done with a camera; no Photoshop is allowed.
