A very nice photo from 1856/57, nothing artificial about the vignetting, I suppose :wink:

I would have cropped a little from the bottom :D Oh, this isn't in the C&C section.

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.
