A Room of One's Own

Light As A Character: Select Photo

I found this photo to be most intriguing due to the contrast of light and dark and the movement of light throughout the photo. The light leaking in from above emphasizes the stark black figure of the napkin holder and then falls softly on the wooden table. Also, the figures in the background are out of focus, creating another form of contrast between soft and hard edges. The breaking of the rule of thirds by the light also creates an interesting and unexpected composition.
