Light and Shadow Photography

Light and Shadow:
A technique in photography which uses the light to present an image around the thing being photographed to express the image in a more realistic view to let the photographer see and capture what the image is telling us. Light creates shadows and shadows also enhance the appearance of the picture or subject. Without the use of shadows, the object may appear dull and boring. Positions and strengths of the lights and shadows can also set the mood of the subject.





The first picture to describe (top) provides light and shadow by the letting in the light from the direction it follows; it tends to reveal the shadows based on the objects from surrounding locations such as the canyons and the pile of rocks. The second picture to describe (bottom) is about light and shadow by seeing this photo; you can tend to look at the light coming from the sun applying some shadows to the mountains and plants and also the clouds provide the elements of light and shadow because once the sun is projecting everywhere upon this photo, it also creates shadows behind the sun allowing to portray a great quality picture to express what is going on.
