Raking light photography (RAK) is a very simple method. Nevertheless, it allows to reveal and to document numerous information. A standard VIS photo is intended to reproduce the look of the artwork as seen in museum lighting, with soft and diffused light. A RAK photo clearly shows how the paint was laid (brushwork), texture and building up of figures and details.
