How to achieve 90 degree sidelight


 
 
I am enrolled in a photo school; my current assignment asks for a photograph with 90 degree sidelighting;
They are pretty emphatic about that number.
This photo I shot I believe may not be 90 degrees, but at least 70-80.
What are your thoughts, suggestions,etc.

Thanks
Frank

  90° side lighting should run across the camera, from left to right, or right to left. If you could visualize the light rays, they would be parallel to your film or digital sensor. 80° is pretty close.

Thanks Michael:

Are you seeing the correct photo?
When I upload the photo I see a photo that is totally alien to me.

Let me try again
