- 2. 2The components of the word "photography" are Greek in origin. Photographyquite literally means "to write with light." While light serves asnoun, adjective, and verb for photographers, shadows complete theirsentences in bold type. The qualities of light in a picture influence ourperceptions of subjects by setting mood, revealing texture, and shadingdetail. These qualities appear in countless varieties of light: the shaft ofsunlight in a dark scene, the gentle bath of sidelight from a big window, thecold fade of dusk, the warm glow of a tungsten bulb or a late afternoon, theeerie pulse of an electronic screen, the candy splash of a neon sign, and thecontrast of a backlit silhouette. Shadows simplify, hide, and dramatize in anendless dance with illumination. The pictures collected here are united notby theme, but by photographers writing with light. -Lane Turner (42 photos total) * Source : www.boston.com
