The physic of the shadows on this image

2.74K views

I was doing random stuff on photoshop on [this screen from Breaking bad](https://imgur.com/9d2g6aR) and I was wondering about the shadows : why all the shadows go to the right except for Mike’s (the left character) which goes to the left?

I quickly try to experiment with a flashlight and some objects but couldn’t find the right position of the light to get the same angles.

It isn’t an effect of the light source’s location (it is the sun) but rather due to the lens in the camera being used. The field of view of the lens is such that lines aren’t always parallel across the scene; we aren’t Picasso here.
