I watched the video again and again. if you try to take some photographs like the way he explains, you will get what he mean. Imagine a cube in place of egg and visualize how the light changes. My2c
is he serious on what he says? light and shadow obviously change if you change light source position, he is saying that happens only with egg and not with any other object?
I ain’t a photographer, but still I couldnt leave without comment for the waste of time I did by watching this.
