<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mirana, post: 8255133, member: 79705&quot;]Hmm I wonder if John C King was a lefty. For my own niche amusement I&#039;ve been researching him (the fire that destroyed his studio, his abolitionist involvement, the other cameists on the same street as him..) and made a spreadsheet of the cameos of his I could find. All 10 I have photos for are left facing. Incidentally, if you have any others kicking about in your files, other than the ones on your board or you&#039;ve posted in this thread, I&#039;d love to see them. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie25" alt=":bookworm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve heard some YouTubers mention the left facing thing and many of them point out they use Miller&#039;s book, so you&#039;re probably spot on. Weirdly, I have more left facing in my collection than right, but it&#039;s a smalllll collection. You&#039;ve seen them all now, other than a costume one I had to have for it&#039;s oddity...</p><p><br /></p><p>There are definitely some artists who prefer drawing figures facing one way or the other. I came from a background that involved making sure my figures were varied so my work is pretty balanced....but it would not surprise me if a cameist had a preference and stuck to it. With roman intaglios it would just be copying a known image. But with clients I wonder if it might be whichever direction they could seat them in their studio facing a light source (my other JCK theory lol).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
