Overview
The 3-D effectof Nishikaphotographs
occurswheneveran objectat one distance
fromthe cameravisuallyoverlapsanother
objectat a differentdistance.The most effective3-D photoshave overlappingobjects
in the foreground,midgroundand backgroundof the composition.
WhenyourNishika3-D photosare
processed,a "key (main)subject"mustbe
selectedby the printingtechnician.This key
subjectwill be the focalpointof the photograph,and objectsthat shareits distance

Be sure that all objects in your 3-D
pictures are well lit, and whenever
convenient include a variety of bright
colors in your composition.
Thiswill enhancethe 3-D effect,as well
as bringaddedlifeto your pictures.
Avoid posing subjects against a flat
backgroundsuch as a wall.
Posingsubjectsagainstflat backgroundswill naturallyresultin picturesthat
lackdepth.

Special Guidelines for Photographing PEOPLE
Avoid photographingpeople in the
foreground when the main subject is
at a greater distance from the camera.
Peoplecan be photographedfrom as
closeas 6 feet when they are in fact the
rnainsubjectof the composition.
8.
9.

Avoid photographingpeople from
farther away than 25 feet.
0. When photographing a group of
people who are all at approximately
the same distance from the camera,
position them so that there is some
space side-to-sidebetweenthem.
IndoorPhotography
As can be seen fromthe General3-D
Guidelinesabove,it is possibleto take effective Nishikaphotographs
with your mainsubject positionedat a wide rangeof distances
fromthe camera. In well-litoutdoorsettings,
17 to 20 feet is optimal. For indoorphotography,however,spaceconsiderations
may
makesuch distancesimpractical.Furthermore,the majorityof flashunits,including
the NishikaTwin Light3010,are mosteffective in lightingsubjectsthat are 14 feet or
closerto the camera. For thesereasons,it
is usuallybest to photographsubjectsat distancesof 10 to 14 feetfromthe camera
whentaking3-D picturesindoors.
To maximizethe 3-D effectof indoor

to keep your foreground objects as close to 6
