Here are two images just to show just how the same image can be interpreted in different ways just by altering the way in which the light is being used.
In the first image, the individual is being lit from straight above, usually a method to make the person give a much more menacing appearance. The lighting implemented in this image exaggerates the depth of the eye sockets and the bone structure of the face.
The second is the same man, but he is now being lit from the bottom. The image gives more of a strange and unfamiliar vibe. The lighting here plays with emphasizing the eyes and the skin texture.
Simply by emphasizing on specific details can the perception of the same image be manipulated to the point where we come out with completely different interpretations of what is there.
