This project focuses on capturing the shadows cast on four buildings at Connecticut College - Cumming Art Center, Palmer Auditorium, Bill Hall, and Plant House - during late afternoon when shadows are most prominent. For each building, the project includes two photos taken at the same time: one without shadows and one with shadows to highlight how shadows transform and add character to the simple planes and shapes of the buildings. The goal is for people to pay more attention to the beautiful shadows often ignored on buildings.
2. When you look at the buildings, what do you see?
Shape. Entrance. Windows. Columns...
Not many people pay attention to beautiful shadows
that are casted on buildings.
Shadow adds great character to a simple plane.
Shadow transforms a buiding.
Shdow is like a drawing on a building.
3. This project is for people to look at the shadows on the
buildings that are often ignored. The project focused on
four buildings (Cumming, Palmer, Bill Hall, Plant) in
Connecticut College, and each building has two images.
One on the left is an image where there is no shadow,
and the right image has just shadow.
The shadows are made based on photos that were
taken during 4-5 pm on the sunny day.
