The windows in my apartment create clear rectangles of light. It's especially jarring when I looked at how the sunlight spread over my cat's fur.
While the light that came through the window completely highlighted his side and tail, his entire front of in shadow.
I used one of these moments for taking pictures for the project. In the picture, his front is largely made up of one tone of dark gray. Near the top of his head, some of the fur catches a little bit of light. But the real contrast comes out against the border of his nose which cuts in front of the portion of him that looks completely white from the amount of light that's shining on him. Even though the image is in black and white, this contrast gives the image a feeling of warmth on the whiter parts and a feeling of colder shade on the dark parts.
It's a really versatile feeling created by just the amount of light, even when limited to a black and white style.
