Eight photographs, ten minutes and a phone. What to shoot, what to avoid, and why the lighting matters more than the camera.

Head Statues
Everything we have written about head statues.
How much detail can a 3D printed bust capture?
Enough for the piece to be unmistakably someone. Not enough to read a wristwatch. Here is where the line falls, and why it moves with size.

Can you make a statue from an old photograph?
Usually yes, and often from a single picture. What matters is not how old or how sharp it is, but how much of the face you can actually see.
