Shadows Photography

This photograph was taken in my kitchen where we have a plant in a vase. The shadows were very noticeable on the white brick and I thought it was interesting how the three-dimensional plant looked different as a two-dimensional shadow.

This was taken in Cape Elizabeth with my friend, using his camera. He was holding out his hand with the light behind him and it ended up stretching the shadow to look kind of creepy. I took the photo so his arm wasn't visible. This results in a photo where the shadow is clear but the object making it is not, which is a unique concept. 

My dad had just gotten back from a trip to Switzerland where he got us heart-shaped chocolate. I thought the clear shape of the chocolate could make an interesting shadow so I held it up against a light colored wall to add more contrast. You can see the shadow of my phone taking the picture, but I feel like that adds to the overall composition by filling up some of the blank space.
