Chasing the Shadows

In this post I present a series of images with a shadowy theme, where darkness is a compelling component of the images.  While most photographers try to open up the shadows by using reflectors or other methods of lighting, I have chosen to embrace the shadows in this series of photographs.  So, come join me on the dark side of photography.

Light of course is the basis of the photographic process.  We pay attention to the light because it defines how we see the subject we are photographing.  However, while the light is a focal point, shadows can direct our attention to the subject, they can in some cases become the subject of our image.  They can become a mystery that envelops the subject we are photographing creating a question of what lies beyond the shadow.
