Cut Shapes In Cardboard And Play Around With Shadows

Shadows offer photographers many opportunities to experiment and create captivating effects in their images. The drama they introduce to a photograph is undeniable, and playing with shadows can be an incredibly enjoyable aspect of photography. However, not everyone can access windows that naturally produce intriguing shadow effects. Thankfully, you can easily improvise.

To tackle this challenge, you can fashion your shadow-creating tools using just a few pieces of cardboard and scissors. Begin by cutting out various shapes, such as window-like patterns or any design that piques your interest. Then, position these cardboard cutouts near your light source to generate captivating, controlled shadows that add depth and dimension to your compositions.
