SHADOWS

Shadows in photography are more than just the absence of light—they are powerful storytelling tools that add depth, mystery, and contrast.

Shadows can sculpt a subject, define form, and create tension or intimacy depending on their placement and intensity.

Shadows invite the viewer to look beyond what's visible, offering a sense of mood, time, and atmosphere. Whether cast sharply in midday sun or softened in low light, shadows can transform an ordinary scene into something evocative and emotionally resonant.

This theme is a great opportunity to break the rules and go out shooting in the harsh midday light!

Remember, a theme is merely a tool for storytelling in your image—it should enhance the narrative, not be the sole focus. The theme itself is never the final goal; rather, it serves as a guide to help convey meaning and emotion.
