Fun with shadows

2012-07-23Raoul Popart, creativity, light, photos, shadows

You can get wonderful photographs by playing with shadows. They’re used to great effect in portraiture (which is a subject for another post) and you can use them to the same effect when photographing objects or shapes, in effect sculpting the image with light. Here are a few examples.

Circular shadows
Soft golden light falls on a sheet of paper.
Corner
Parallel lines

Shadows on the wall
Light textures on the ceiling
Those dark shadows that haunt us
