A photograph cannot exist without light. Light is an integral aspect of a photograph that can influence the mood, emotion, and ultimately, tell a story. Though there are several unwritten rules of light use that photographers follow to capture an image, there are those who break the bounds and create a one-of-a-kind moment.
In this article, we compiled the most stunning, most striking, and most creative uses of lighting as submitted by photographers in our growing Facebook community. We hope these photographs inspire your creativity and challenge you to take risks to create masterpieces of your own.
