Final Project - Abby Layton

Usually in photography, shadows are seen as a menace. They are seen as a distraction from the original subject. For this series, I decided to focus on the shadows. I focused on the compelling shapes cast by the shadows. I see shadows as something beautiful and interesting. A quote I have always loved is, “We cast a shadow on something wherever we stand.” I love this quote because I truly believe that we have an influence on everything that we come in contact with. In this series of photographs, I tried to capture that important belief.
