As photographers, we consume over and done with night light. How more of it, the direction it's approaching from, the color and so on...
Isn't the enormously WORD - ikon - past Greek for verbal creation near light? (Photo = light, graph = to exchange letters) Maybe it's Latin, I'm doing this from recall.
In our obsession, we buy workplace lights so we can get more than of it, at the perfectly color and way. We use nonuple lights to eliminate unwished shadows! And to add highlights. We buy reflectors to pack in the shadows and we bounciness our - on photographic equipment - flash off the ceiling to turn away from shadows on the walls.

So far...I've ne'er run across a tale committed to capturing shadows!
But, isn't it the shadows that set down mood?

Picture in your mind, a ikon of a smokey New Orleans, talk ball club. Was your noetic photo in colour or black and white? Probably achromatic and white, but even if it was in color, was the area fit lit - OR STEEPED IN SHADOW?
When your subject is a littlest - shall we say, hefty - how do you relay them to cover for their portraits? In white? Or in black?
In proceedings you're new to photography, and cognise completely nil almost fashion, I'll convey you - it's black. Why? Because shadows define shape! If they are wearing white, all the shadows cast by their overload weight are intelligibly marked. Wearing black, the shadows aren't that visible and thereby a soul countenance diluent.
When you study the sundry light patterns, you'll see they are most all characterized by the shadows - not the light! Rembrandt, large light, thin light, break light, butterfly and so on...it's the way the shadows become visible that discover the model. Without shadows, all light patterns would be the same!
Wrinkles are definite by the shadows. That's why lights are ever positioned directly in advanced of models - to do away with any wrinkles. The same for blemishes. We largely observe pock businessman because of the shadows.
So, when you are doing a image session, ponder the shadows. What characteristics of tone are you after? Do they have wrinkles or blemishes that have need of to be full up in? Do they have a comprehensive human face that can be narrow by following one side?
Photographs are on thesis and are two dimensional, so the unexcelled photographers visage for distance to regard dimness. Can YOU add dimness to snap the picture depth and dimension?
When you move into to devise just about shadows as aggressively as you do in the order of the light, that's when your pictorial representation will displace to the adjacent flat.
It's the shadows that initiate the illusion of understanding and shape and it's the intellection of shadows that can gyrate a photograph into ART. People will cognise they are sounding at something exceptional but they won't cognise why, because shadows really are the disregarded factor.
