Description

This photograph, titled “Chasing the Light” captures the essence of hope and new beginnings. The backlit silhouette of the subject emphasizes contrast, allowing the sunlight to create a glowing outline around her figure. I used natural lighting to enhance the warmth and depth of the scene, highlighting the balance between light and shadow. The composition was carefully framed to evoke a sense of contemplation as if the subject is looking toward the future. By using a slightly low angle and soft focus on the background, the image draws attention to her presence while maintaining an air of mystery. Overall, this piece symbolizes growth, optimism, and the beauty of embracing the unknown.
