When I heard the first prompt for this month would be “shadow”, I wanted to work with how shadows made effects and textures on different surfaces. So, I went to a forest area with lots of trees that let some light in, but not too much. After walking around for around ten minutes, I found a spot that I thought highlighted different values of shadow and light and took pictures in this spot. In my photo, the different lights are shown in the subject’s hair and face, with two large shadows and some light in between. In addition, I contrasted the shadowy foreground with a brighter background because I wanted to put more emphasis on the shadow.
