Wherever there is light, one can photograph.”
– Alfred
Stieglitz
It is pretty obvious that a person is totally dependent on
light when it comes to photography. It is kind of normal thing for a
photographer. After all without light, there would be no photography. Light is
the only source that can be easily exploited by a photographer with any camera
to produce a beautiful picture. With light, a photographer will always find a
shadow following close behind; ignoring the fact that light is what makes the
photo possible. Exploring the quality and direction of light differentiate
between a good and a great photo. When playing with light in day to day images,
finding how light interacts with the subject, which quite often means watching
for, and incorporating shadows. This is why Professional photographers invest
more on lighting equipment than the average person spends on cameras in a
lifetime.

In our daily life, we see shadow along with light. Shadow is
a part of good photography. Without shadows, photographs will have no meaning.
Many say that the shadow is the absence of light. Well that is true, because
the object that blocks the light forms a shadow. But in photography, shadow is
a black reflection of the subject we are focusing. Light and shadows, when work
together, create a beautiful visual. When it comes to elevating everyday
subjects into an art form, shadow can be just the visual element to help you do
it. Using your subject's shadow, or even a shadow casting from something
nearby, you are allowing it to share the stage with the light. Shadows can be
mysterious, exaggerated, or quite frank; and using them in the right manner can
make some pretty fun and unique images. Light and Shadows, both work together
as a team. You cannot have one without the other therefore always keep your eyes
open for both in order to produce something extra ordinary.
