Light and Shadows... my weekly challenge

1/26/2022

I had a chance to judge the weekly competition for the Rome Photo Club last week. I was judging the topic sunrise, but after choosing the winner, I got to pick the topic. I chose Light and Shadows. Why? Because, I love shots with high contrast. I enjoy light being part of the composition of the photos. Looking for light other than just the physical things in the photo gives you a new appreciation for the scene. I can't win this weeks contest, but I wanted to share some of my favorite photos that exhibit both light and shadows. Also, if you are interested in meeting other photographers in the Rome area, check out the club's public Facebook page.

You can find shapes and patterns everywhere. Parking decks are a great place to check out because they have both natural and artificial light. You can order this photo directly from my lab. *Note - these will come as photo prints only and will not be matted or signed.

    Ryan Smith, a Berry College graduate and former photojournalist, is a fine art photographer. He is well-known in Rome, Georgia for his unique perspective and captivating images. His art can be found on the walls of the local hospital, businesses throughout Rome and in the living rooms of art patrons all over. While a majority of his art is focused on the city of Rome and Berry College, he is also renowned for his "decay" photographs, which bring a beautiful perspective to areas others would view as deteriorated. Ryan's most recent project, the White Piano, has blurred the lines of his styles. Beginning in the world of decay, the White Piano has ventured throughout Rome and Floyd County for some of the most acclaimed photographs yet. ​
