This is a photograph of a skeleton of a mammoth taken at the museum of natural history in Chicago.The main source of light is from the top, and to the left side of the skull of the mammoth.Other lighter sources of light are from the top left and the ambient light in the museum.The lighting setup emphasizes the size of the beast and the shape of the skull.The bottom of the tusks and the limbs of the skeleton are in shadow, directing the viewers eye to the skull.This causes the viewer to look up at the mammoth, causing respect for its size.
