Contrasts
Light illuminates, shadows define. The light illuminates, but is the shadow that defines objects and gives them body.
Taking advantage of the contrasts and catch them with the camera is an exercise that requires a little attention, the difference in brightness is a challenge for sensors and films, forcing the photographer to decide what to sacrifice.
Keep the details in the dark areas, or mantain rich light areas with almost completely black and no visible details? One of the oldest dilemmas for those who are behind a camera.
The contrasts are everywhere, always ready to challenge you with their emotional and symbolic meaning.
