For my project, I decided to focus on shadows. Shadows are often overlooked in lighting despite the important role they play in color, contrast, etc. Therefore, I wanted to highlight how they can be used in one of the most simple, well-known ways, which was shadow puppets. I chose to do a crab, dog, and snail. It was challenging to figure out how to capture the shadows properly without accidentally photographing the hands creating the animal shapes, but overall it was an easy process that was effective in using lighting creatively.
