Kitchen countertop light: Your body won't block your own light

A kitchen workspace scene, with the light source installed under the wall cabinet, near the front edge, shining downwards onto the countertop below. A person stands in front of the counter, chopping vegetables. Light comes from in front of the body, the cutting board and ingredients are fully illuminated, and the body does not cast a shadow on the work area. On the other side of the image, an incorrect configuration is contrasted: there is only a main ceiling light in the center, and when the person stands in front of the counter, their body blocks the light, the cutting board falls into their own shadow, and they have to turn sideways to see clearly. The countertop height and the person's posture are the same in both. The countertop material is light-colored, reflecting light back onto the ingredients. Avoid: Drawing the two configurations identically, eliminating the body shadow in the incorrect configuration, having the light-emitting surface of the under-cabinet light shine directly into the eyes, illuminating the entire kitchen to a uniformly bright, shadowless state.

一個廚房的工作場景,光源設在吊櫃的下方、靠近前緣的位置,朝下照亮下方的檯面。一個人站在檯面前切菜,光從身體前方而來,砧板與食材完全明亮,身體沒有在工作區投下陰影。畫面另一側以錯誤的配置對照:只有天花中央的主燈,人站到檯面前時,自己的身體剛好擋住光,砧板落在自己的影子裡,必須側身才看得清。兩者的檯面高度與人的姿勢相同。檯面的材質是淺色,能把光反射回食材上。避免:把兩種配置畫成一樣、消除錯誤配置中的身體陰影、讓吊櫃下燈具的發光面直射眼睛、把整個廚房照成無陰影的均勻亮。
