This gallery offered a window full of art. I liked the way the mid afternoon light was falling on the breastplate of this angel’s armor so I selectively built my image around it. This window offers a shadow-box effect, allowing me to photograph its contents with reflected light coming from the street. For example, the reflected light bouncing off the armor softly illuminates the face of the angel. A large painting of a saguaro cactus fills the right hand side of the frame – it is in dark shadow, a presence, rather than a detailed description. Shop windows allow light to fall selectively, rather than universally. I metered on the one glow of light in this scene, allowing everything else to go darker, and giving the face just enough illumination to carry the photograph’s emotion to us.
