SILHOUETTE / SIDE / DRAMATIC (5+ each)

PROJ#11: DRAMATIC LIGHT (12+ images)

DIRECTIONS: Make 12+ digital images that have dramatic light in the composition. Hard shadows, spotlight on a subject, nighttime photos with flash...all are good.

NOTE:
1. From what direction does the light emanate? Where does it come from, and how is it illuminating your subject?
2. You are to make images that have a distinct highlight and a distinct darker area. Shadows may be present.
3. We will be digitally altering the images in Photoshop to achieve a sabattier effect.
3. This is a DIGITAL project.
