"Shadow is a colour as light is, but less brilliant; light and shadow are only the relation of two tones." Paul Cezanne "Az árnyék ugyanolyan szín, mint a fény, csak kevésbé ragyogó; fény és árnyék ugyanannak a tónusnak két oldala." Paul Cezanne
England based artist Dylan Andrews uses light and shadow to portray emotion in his drawings. His monochromatic charcoal portraits build up to a dramatic intensity that is almost surreal. Owing to the drama and atmosphere in his pieces is the use of black and white high contrast of tones. Pattern and texture is another aspect of the work that he uses to explore the emotional possibilities. The shadows on his young subjects' extend the reality of the image beyond the page, a reflection from an object we cannot see.

Capturing the enthralling beauty of Scotland's serene coves, this enrapturing print brings the majestic tranquility of Ardtun Bay into your living space with its golden hour glow. The artwork is a striking tableau, with bold, contemporary strokes that create a vibrant impression of the descending sun casting its amber radiance across the water. As your gaze traverses the print, you'll witness the harmonious interplay of light and shadow, with the sun melting into the horizon and imparting hues of deep orange, vivid yellows, and a spectrum of blues onto the reflective bay. Silhouettes of the distant headlands stand as stoic guardians of the cove, their outlines sharply etched against the soft diffusion of the golden sky. The restless sea is rendered as a patchwork of liquid gold and sapphire, with the brushstrokes lending a sense of gentle movement to the calm waters. The reflections are a masterful mosaic of colour, mimicking the sky's transition from day to night. This print excels in evoking the quiet awe one experiences while witnessing nature's evening adieu. An evocative addition to any room, this piece will resonate with those who cherish the wild Scottish landscapes or anyone seeking a touch of nature's end-of-day splendour to adorn their walls. The artwork seamlessly weaves together the vitality of contemporary art with the timeless appeal of Scotland's rugged coastlines.

Photography has many tips and tricks of the trade used both by amateurs and famous photographers - the many uses of light, perspective, darkness, exposure, and many other bits are what makes beautiful pictures. All of that wouldn't come to one unified look without shadows though as they are what gives the image depth or in some cases, changes the view entirely. Also, they're free, they're everywhere, and there's no limit to what you can do with them if you have the know-how.
