These first six photographs are all examples of fantastic location light drawings, all of this place photographs shown something that technically only actually exists/existed within these photos.  I really like the first one as it takes inspiration from a classic and iconic game that everyone knows and loves and also clearly shows colour and lines.

 These next five photographs are all examples of studio light drawings or at least light drawings done in dark places with no other light source to show the background and/or foreground.  I quite like the second from last one as it just shows the silhouette of the person standing there posing with all of the lights behind them.

These next six photographs are all examples of silhouettes used within photography, these are created by having the light source behind the subject of the photograph.  I quite like what can be achieved through this as it focuses on the shape of the subject/s without any detail to distract the eye.  I quite like the third photo as the subject is not entirely black, parts of the dress are translucent.

These next five photos are examples of shadows within photography this is similar to silhouettes but the light source is usually to one side of the subject with the subjects shadow being cast over the rest of the photo, this also focuses a lightly bit on shape but can also portray things like form.  I think the last one in this section is pretty cool as it is a collection of letters and their collective shadows create the shape of someones face, to me it seems like some editing was used to accomplish this although I could be wrong.

These next four photographs I have found on the internet are examples of shadows that are being cast onto a person rather than being cast onto other objects.  I like this as the shadows cast can be pretty much any shape meaning that you can use them to highlight particular parts of a photograph while keeping the rest in the dark.  I quite like the first photo within this section as the pattern of the shadow is really interesting in places and is slightly psychedelic, while portraying several formal elements including line, form and shape.

These final six photographs are examples of form in some way even when it is not blatantly obvious, like the second one although there are not dark shadows there is still some darker areas on the models neck and underside of her legs as well as the front of her body while her back is lit up.
