Shadows Shadows show the outline of a person's facial features or the structure of their body. Shadows tend to make a person look more intimidating. Shadows can often create a mood of fear or terror.

Light from behind a person The light creates an outline of the person and really puts emphasis on the shape of the person's body rather than their facial features. This creates a really dark mood since you can't see the person's face but only a shadowy outline of their body.
