A few weeks ago Sally challenged me to capture a shadow form that conveys a mood, tone or emotion. At first I thought, "Oh .. a shadow." Then I thought, "Oh...maybe I split tone the shadows to create a mood or tone." I finally decided maybe those were both wrong, and I just needed to use shadows themselves to set the mood. I could see that a lot in portrait work.
Then, when my next challenge was a flat lay, and I was struggling to set it up I read a blogger who said she incorporates shadows in her flat lays. I'd been avoiding the direct light, and by then I'd lost most of it on my setup. I moved things around a bit to get some intense shadows, and rather like the dark mood they create. So, right or wrong, here's my attempt at using a shadow form to convey a mood or tone.
This is absolutely wonderful and yes ... I did read they whole thing and it does look wonderful on black.
This is such an artistic shot the way you have composed the pen and ink bottle on the writing.
A FAV!
