THE PLAY OF LIGHTS AND SHADOWS
ART OF PHOTOGRAPHY IS INCOMPLETE WITHOUT LIGHTS AND SHADOWS. THE MORE YOU PLAY WITH IT THE MORE YOU WILL BE SURPRISED WITH THE AMAZING RESULTS. TECHNICALLY, IF ONE REALLY WANTS TO MASTER THE ART OF PHOTOGRAPHY, THEN THEY MUST UNDERSTAND THE VERY NATURE OF LIGHT AND SHADOWS. HOW TO PLAY WITH THEM AND HOW IT CAN ACT AS A POWERFUL TOOL TO CREATE AN IMPACT, YET MAKE IT LOOK EFFORTLESS. WHILE SHOOTING LIGHT AND SHADOWS MAKE SURE THAT YOU FIRST UNDERSTAND THE NUANCES OF NATURAL AS WELL AS ARTIFICIAL LIGHT. ALSO, HOW THEY BEHAVE IN SPECIFIC CONTEXT FOR SHADOWS TO FALL IN PLACE. ONCE WE BEGIN TO PLACE A SUBJECT IN DIRECT LIGHT THEN IT MAY START APPEARING FLAT TO THE BEHOLDER. BUT IF WE MAKE USE OF SHADOWS ALONG WITH IT THEN IT ADDS A DEPTH TO THE PICTURE ADDING DIMENSIONS TO IT. WHEN ONE IS TRYING TO CREATE A PICTURE-PERFECT SCENARIO THEN THAT PICTURE MUST CONSIST OF BLACK, WHITE AND GREY TONES TO BRING A SENSE OF COMPLETION TO THE FRAME. USUALLY THIS TECHNIQUE IS USED TO CAPTURE ABSTRACT OR MYSTERIOUS PHOTOGRAPHS AND SILHOUETTES. SPECIFICALLY, THE HIGH CONTRAST LIGHTING AND SHADOWS TOGETHER CREATE EXCLUSIVE STANDPOINTS IN MONOCHROME.

A NEW VALUE HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE FIELD OF CREATIVE INDUSTRIES MAKING MORE ROOM FOR THE DESIGNERS AND CREATIVE HEADS TO BRAINSTORM OVER THE DESIGN ASPECTS OF EVERY SINGLE PRODUCT AND ITS BRANDING. THIS VALUE ADDITION HAS LED TO THE ADVERTISEMENT OF ALL THESE PRODUCTS IN A UNIQUE WAY WHICH IN TURN LEADS TO THE IMPORTANCE OF AESTHETICS INVOLVED IN THE DESIGNING AND REPRESENTING THESE PRODUCTS IN THE BURGEONING MARKET. THE DEMAND OF ANY GIVEN PRODUCT ON AN ONLINE PLATFORM HAS GIVEN RISE TO ENTREPRENEURS WHO MARKET THEIR PRODUCTS WITH THE HELP OF DESIGNERS, ARTISTS, PHOTOGRAPHERS AND TECHIES INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS OF MARKETING. PHOTOGRAPHY AS A PROFESSION AT THE MOMENT IS VERY DEMANDING AND CREATIVE AT THE SAME TIME. ONE NEEDS TO UPGRADE TO BE IN SUCH A COMPETITIVE WORLD SPECIFICALLY IF SOMEONE WANTS TO SHOWCASE THEIR WORK.
