Light and Shadow: Photographic Images by Members of the PhotoMidwest Women’s Interest Group

In photography, light and corresponding shadow often highlight the subject, create depth, illuminate an idea and make us think more about the story - real or imagined. 

The images in this exhibit demonstrate each photographer's intent to present a poetic angle or imagined story. These ideas are created and reinforced by the light and/or shadow and the way these elements are photographed. The PhotoMidwest Women's Interest Group was formed in 2011 to bring together creative women whose medium of expression is photography. Since the first meeting, the group's goal has been to support each other and express their voices through photographic imagery.
