I’ve always been fascinated—and borderline obsessive—about shadows in portraiture. They way light hits every curve and bone. How shadows can make one person look so many different ways. How they can dance and play like a picture projected onto a canvas. They can paint our faces and light up our eyes.
Hell, I even did a thesis project in college on it (which I will add was chosen for the yearly art show).
The body is used as a canvas in so many ways, with clothes, and paint, and makeup, but not often enough do we use the light for all it’s worth. I’ve never been great at painting or illustrating but I believe I love using light—but more importantly, shadows— because I’m allowed to paint without using my hands...most of the work is already done for me, I just have to provide a good canvas and capture it.
