Congratulations on your top ten image placement in the ‘Shadow Art’ competition. First of all thank you for entering, and for taking the time to enter such a strong image. I like this image in particular because I’m a big fan of raw street photography. So many entries were street scenes however this worked as there are very little distractions providing a deep emphasis on the two main subjects. The pedestrian and the pigeon make a great combo!

Just as light is a critical element to photography, so is darkness. With shadow art, the focus is placed on the subject as it blocks light from reaching a surface, like a sidewalk or table, and so creates a shadow. Experiment with the angle, distance and size of your light source to alter the intensity and scale of your shadows. Consider humans as your subjects, but inanimate objects too, like musical instruments, buildings and action figures.
