The Brief
Shadows aren’t just the absence of light—they’re storytellers. For this contest, we want to see how you use shadows in inventive, surprising, and artistic ways. Think bold silhouettes, abstract patterns, dramatic contrasts, or subtle plays of light that transform ordinary scenes into something extraordinary.
📷 Tips for Standing Out:
1. Experiment with angles and framing to make shadows the main subject.
2. Look for everyday objects that cast unexpected shapes.
3. Use natural light, street lamps, or creative setups to push your imagination further.
Whether it’s a portrait wrapped in mystery, a city street alive with long evening shadows, or abstract forms you discovered in nature, this is your chance to show how shadows can elevate photography into art. Submit your best shot and let the darkness speak as loudly as the light.
