The Use of Shadows in Photography

Danny Eitreim writes, "In our obsession, we buy studio lights so we can get more of it, at the right color and direction. We use multiple lights to eliminate unwanted shadows! And to add highlights. We buy reflectors to fill in the shadows and we bounce our - on camera - flash off the ceiling to avoid shadows on the walls. A quick search in any library or bookstore will show dozens (if not hundreds) of books and magazines devoted to controlling light."         Full Article

Silhouette Photography Techniques

Jeff Galbraith writes, "We have probably all taken shots like this by mistake—when taking a picture of a friend or relative who was standing in front of a window, or standing with the sun behind them, etc. But photos like this give us a dark subject with a bright, washed out background—not exactly what we were hoping for. This happens because the digital sensor in our camera cannot accurately capture scenes with such high contrast. However, this “weakness” can be turned to our advantage."       Full Article
