About Me
- Christopher T. Terry
- I teach Painting and Drawing at Utah State University in Logan, Utah. My interest in Germany stems from a year I spent at the Universität Essen as a Fulbright scholar in 1994-95. I exhibit my paintings at galleries in both the US and Germany. My cv and a complete portfolio of my work can be see at: christophertterry.com

I've been noticing a slight vignette of value around your objects. I have no problem with this and do it myself, but I'm curious about your thoughts on it. Is it a result of your lighting, or do you use it when convenient? both? Does it play into your stage set approach?
Tyler,
Your talking about the halo of lighter (or darker) background around objects, right? I've always done that and I've been doing more lately. It has lots of advantages, most technical in nature. I like it conceptually because it underscores the fact that the image is an invention. It's not "reality" and I can therefore make background tones shift when ever I want.
