Live View Axis Better Direct

Light and axis conspire. A low sun skimming the model street creates long, theatrical shadows that align with the perspective lines; the live view exaggerates this alignment, bathing the scene in chiaroscuro. I nudge exposure, contrast, color balance—not to make things truer, but truer to the feeling I want to coax out. The axis, once merely structural, becomes narrative scaffolding: an avenue toward memory, regret, longing, or jubilation, depending on how I place my protagonist along it.
