Fashion photography using shadows

The shadows in the photograph, have been used very successfully, by highlighting the models face and making her eye the main focus point of the image. The shadow is very unusual and therefore portrays a very questioning effect on the image towards the viewer. The light is also a very large part of the image, contrasting highly with the shadow, making it very strong and defined. I would say that the image has been edited slightly making the contrast greater between the light and shadow, and also made more defined by photographic light as sunlight would not make that effect alone. - Photographer Tyra Banks

This image is very calm and has very close value. Somehow the shadow mainly being on the models chest does not make that the focus point, which it normally would. The focus point however being the models face by the small amount of light shining on the side of her face being reflected onto her face making that stand out the most. The light agin is very bright in the image however the contrast is not so dense, making the image a lot calmer and warmer. Even though the brightest part of the image is on the models chest does not make it the focus point, but as the light is shining down the one side of her face highlights it and makes it stand out the most and as it is at the top of the image it makes it the first thing you look at. - Photographer Tyra Banks

This image again has close value, making the image seem calm, but the models eyes seem strong and powerful as the light is hitting there the most and making that the focus point. The shadow reflecting off her eye and on to her eyelid has the most contrast in the whole photograph making this seem as stated earlier stronger. Although the photograph is black and white the contrast is not that strong which is odd for a black and white image as the contrast is normally very great as black and white are opposite ends of the colour wheel. - Photographer Tyra Banks

This image has close value making it seem calm, the shadow is refrained only being shown on the models arm and face. This works well making these the main focus's of the image. As the most light on this image is on her face shining directly onto her eye I would say this is the focus point of the image. The shadow is very unusual and makes the viewer wonder what would make that pattern, this is a very creative way to show shadow in an image. Having only a small amount of shadow on the model is very dfferent to all of the other photographs taken in this style, making it very original. - Photographer Tyra Banks
