Light and shadows in photographs have the power to create the differentiation between tones that becomes the basis of our perceptions. Sometimes, the dimensions of these subjects & objects create an illusory effect blending them with the scene around them, potentially creating a sense of depth in the picture. Sharing some of them that serve as an inspiration!
The shades create the sense of a staircase in the picture below!
Try to photograph a picture like this.. you would enjoy the experience of changing the lights, positions and creating the shadow effects 🙂
This one from the school of photography below creates a story in our mind!
The etched glass creates a shadow of the patterns – light, water and shadows!
Is it the love for bicycling..?
Look at the way the light curves around the object creating a shadow unintentionally, carving another story!
Yes.. it does make me think about recreating this 🙂
How and where would the light source have been placed? Does a circular surface create the changes in the length of the light?
Observe light, objects, surfaces, how the shadows are naturally formed & play around with them to bring in your own perspective & recreate the story in your photographs! Every artists holds the ability to influence and inspire the mind!
Joining a 4-6 week photography class in your local community would be helpful as well!
