ntil recently, when I included my shadow in an image, it was because circumstances made it difficult to avoid. Either the lighting direction or lens focal length meant that my shadow was in attendance, and I just made the best of it in the work. But lately I have approached my shadow as the subject matter and main compositional element. This has been a lot of fun, and revealed new opportunities in familiar locations. I really like the color transform of reflected radiation on both sides of the shadow boundary, as my presence alters the source light spectral distribution.
“In spite of its function as a reservoir for human darkness–or perhaps because of this–the shadow is the seat of creativity.” - Carl Jung
