Needless to say, I love shadows. Those who know me probably know this. One of the most common uses of shadows in photography is to highlight shapes. This always involves the presence of the sun. Any irregularities in the shape of the subject will be projected on a surface opposite the sun. An example of this use of shadow can be seen in today’s photo.
“There is strong shadow where there is much light.”– Goethe
