Texture Maps

  • Look for lichen, chips, and polish from touch.

Light & Texture

  • Raking light: reveals micro-relief; shoot early or late.
  • Diffuse light: softens contrasts for faithful surfaces.
  • Wet stone: amplifies grain; beware color shifts.

Bottom Line

Close looking reveals the statue's second sculptor: the elements.
