Gr 12 ShadowPlay Project
Imagine an entire photography project featuring shadows; it's all about capturing shapes, distortions and playful interactions created by the absence of light within a scene that is either well light or has only a hint of light. That's what our ShadowPlay project is all about. It's usually the second major project of the Grade 12 semester and, while sometimes proving to be quite a challenge, it provides an opportunity for a creative and open-minded photographer to produce interesting, engaging and remarkably different photo images.
As you peruse the current and past galleries linked below, we hope you appreciate the hard work and imagination shown by our students. Finding shadows is easy. Finding interesting shadows is not. Figuring how to mesh a shadow playfully with the object that's casting the shadow takes much more than mere luck. Working your camera, the exposure settings and general composition into the entire mix introduces yet another layer of complexity to this project which may seem easy to the uninitiated, but in reality, takes much patience, skill and imagination.
