The objective of this assignment was to create a narrative using only shadow without featuring the object casting it. For this photograph, the large shadow covering most of the frame is simply that of a normal door frame. I thought it was interesting how something so mundane could create something so theatrical and emotive when framed on its own. It casts across the wooden surface in a way that feels constructed or purposeful, when in reality it was created from something ordinary and unnoticeable. I became aware of how many cool shadows are around us that we don’t take the time to notice while taking this photo. Light moves through the simplest of spaces and can create shapes and shadows that go unnoticed that feel like movie stills. By allowing the shadow to fill most of the frame and keeping my lighting low, I wanted the photograph to feel somber yet strong. This was a cool assignment that forced me to slow down and look at mundane objects in a different way. It showed me that normal light and shadows can create a story if you take the time to really see them.
