More Nose Knowledge
with Rob Silverman

1. NASAL BONE

The end of the nasal bone creates a slight bump in the bridge of the nose

2. PROFILE

In profile the nose is half on the face, and half off

3. SHADOW

Minimize the contrast between the nostrils and the shadow plane of the lower portion of the nose, so that the nostrils don’t appear as punched holes
