How to take shadows

The films taken by many photographers are very bland and lack some charm. So how can we make the photos have charm and taste? Using shadows well is one way. When a picture contains shadows, it always makes us feel a sense of humanity. It can make the picture more interesting in terms of artistic conception, and it can make the contrast between light and dark in the picture stronger visually.

So regular shadows are often used as accompaniments to add a sense of space and formal beauty to the picture.

Everyone understands that regular shadows produce formal beauty, but why does it increase the sense of space?

The reason is that after adding shadows, the viewer can't help but think of what scenery outside the picture produces such a shadow, thus subconsciously producing a three-dimensional image of the picture.

Although regular shadows can produce formal and geometric beauty, they make the viewer feel somewhat "deliberate".

The irregular shadows give people an inadvertent and fleeting visual experience. This dilutes the purpose of photographic composition and prevents the viewer from noticing the composition, thus making the picture more natural and lifelike.

The shadow must be flat, because it can only exist depending on the plane, while the scene is an object. So when objects and shadows appear in the same frame, this visual conflict makes the image more dramatic.
