650th Show & Tell Competition: Shadow as primary or integral element
Posted: Sun Nov 06, 2022 5:02 amThe work of Ralph Gibson inspires me. Google "gibson shadow photography" for examples of his work.
‘I photograph primarily in bright sunlight and expose for the highlights, which is pretty easy to do.’ ‘I eliminate a lot of unwanted material and activity into the shadow area. In so doing, I create a shape. Instead of being a variation on light, for me shadows themselves become cut forms, they become shapes.’"
Interested in shadow as primary or integral element of the image. Variations: shadow as basic shape, shadow implying meaning... Examples:
Vera
trompe l'oeil (there is an optical illusion in the image)
abstraction
Karmic Interlude
Catching Shadows
Penumbra
Vera, Enso
Shadow Play
