Shadows add facet and meaning to an image. They can emphasize emotions, create surreal images, and be used in a variety of ways.
Shadows create fascinating pictures on their own, and they also are beautiful when paired with their parent object.
The contrast between the image and its shadow makes an amazing photograph.
We have put together 30 truly outstanding photos that make strong use of shadows in a variety of ways.

Very nice collection.
Dugg!
Wow, awesome photos.
Thanks for the post.
Enjoyed a lot.
How is photo no. 17 possible?
nice collection though.
i liked the heart shaped shadow photo.
Great photos with one exception – the mountain by Solafin doesn’t look right. The Sun is to the left and behind the mountain, but the left-front of the mountain is strongly illuminated. The only way that would work is if there was a strong reflector in front of the mountain and to its left. Okay there could be another snow covered mountain there, but – hmmmm….
Huge praise to neloqua for that beautiful shot of the egret taking off. Colour, composition – everything is perfect.
Stunning! Everytime shadows get in my pictures
they aren’t supposed to be there. I’ll have to learn
how to catch them better.
wow nice pictures. this is cool
Very nice!
Pretty sure I’ve seen the “heart” one in colour on wikipedia before. Was a red filter instead of just a ring.
WOWWWWW.Very nice pictures

Most of these excellent pieces elegantly represent the porwer of conceptual shift. Like many others in the “comments” I could actually feel my brain doing something it rarely does, absorb like bread instead of a sponge and feel uniquely refreshed and hungry to join in the dance.
nice shots you have got!!
it was a splendid and well done work.
keep up the good work!
Superb collection.
Thanks for sharing these!
good work!Great job.
i really like the glasses and its shadow.
it really feels like something.
shadows are cool, i like them,
my favorites are definitely the glasses and the geodesic ball
Wow, this collection is really great. It reminds me to appreciate this beautiful world that surrounds us.
simply fantastic..man fishing on the beach is the best with great composition and an excellent example of silhouette photography..
The ring on the book unsuspectingly creating the heart shaped shadow is one on my favs… though all are amazing pics.. im inspired. Tks!
Simply stunning.
The old dear dancing has just got to be fake. The hands, feet, coat and skirt do not match. I am convinced that it was not necessary to fake the original.
