Shadow Shot

6.8.2012

In this photo, you see a girl in front of a white background looking at her shadow. However, her shadow is turned away from her.
The picture was taken intentionally in focus in order to view the picture clearly and understand what is happening.
I had to photoshop the shadow into the picture because it's physically impossible for one's shadow to be turned away from them. Since she originally had another shadow behind her, I photoshopped it out.
The picture was taken indoors with a white background so the focus of the picture could be seen. Also because it was easier to produce a shadow instead of going outside and having the sun shine at the wrong angle. I manipulated the warm light. Sometimes we do things that disappoint others, but ultimately disappoint ourselves. I reflected that disappointment through a shadow. The way she is looking at herself represents how she realizes the disappointment and is sorry for it.
Overall, I think I did pretty good on this shot because it came out very nice and the shadow came out very precise and shaped better than I expected. I chose to do this photo in order to emphasize the concept of disappointment.  It wasn't even difficult to do this shot. I only took a few pictures and was satified with what I received.
