Yep, a camera will dramatically emphasise contrast differences. I'm a keen photographer and, as a part of my Egyptology degree, I take many pictures of objects in Egyptian collections in museums. An object which, to the naked eye, appears to be evenly illuminated will often appear to have highly-visible shadows in a photograph.
