An Examination of both light and line.
WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Linear Shadows
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Linear shadows are important in photography because they help define the form and shape of objects within an image, adding depth and dimension by clearly indicating the direction of light and creating visual interest through their straight, consistent lines, essentially guiding the viewer's eye across the composition; they can also be used to emphasize specific details or create a sense of drama depending on how they are positioned within the frame.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will follow along with instruction and use what we have learned to create amazing photos using linear shadows!
