Of this well-known photograph of sunlight streaming into New York’s Grand Central Station as commuters make their way across the concourse, Stalman says:
The lesson is that this is something you can see anywhere — when you wake up in the morning, or walking down a hallway in a museum, or just working in a backyard shed. Everything that the light is hitting here is being lit up. So you don’t always have to think of your subject as being lit. Sometimes the light itself can be the subject. After all, none of the people here are doing much at all, they’re kind of just acting as background. It’s all about the light, the light, the light.
Photo tip #2: Light Can Be Your Subject, Not Just a Tool
