Light can make or break an image. In photography, it’s what makes the medium possible. But the most dynamic images are those through which the artist plays with light — by capturing how it wraps around a subject, elucidates an otherwise opaque object, creates unique hues, illuminates a city, draws the eye through a composition, or ultimately defines form. New techniques and trends in photography have also allowed artists to create images using light in non-traditional ways.
Shutterstock (is a stock of photography, stock footage and stock music) have curated a collection of images that show how light can create a dramatic subject or storyline.
