Fishing against the Light (and rain)

Contre Jour by Luther Roseman Dease

Some fish for fun while others fish for food by Luther Roseman Dease II

This photo I shared eight years ago is a great example of contre-jour, the term for shooting directly into the light source. Luther explains that the light creates a form of the subject without releasing its precious and cluttered details unto photography’s artistry. See many more examples in his Contre-Jour gallery on Flickr and for sure view & purchase his work on his website.
