Harsh directional lighting isn't always a bad thing. Sometimes the photographer can use of this kind of light to his/her advantage as can be seen in the examples below.

A person's shadow appeared just before they stepped into the arch and complemented the graphic quality created by the shadow of the arch.

ABOUT THE PRINTS:
I currently have over 500 images to choose from and add new work on a regular basis. Some of the work is taken during travel while other images are taken locally in New England. The photomontage images are often created by combining two or more images taken in different places and times.
High quality prints are available in a variety of sizes, print surfaces and framing options including prints, canvas, acrylic and metal and framed. Prices vary depending on size, surface and framing.

Also available are greeting cards, iPhone phone cases and galaxy phone cases. Although the price for a single greeting card is high ($8.95) the per card price drops when packages of 10 or 25 are purchased. The greeting is 5" x 7" size and very good print quality. Because of this, some people like to purchase a greeting card and buy their own inexpensive matte and frame at Michaels, Walmart or other outlets.

Sometimes the moment an image is captured in the camera is only the beginning. You sense some potential in the scene, the light and atmosphere when the photo is first taken. Adding a texture overlay can enhance the atmosphere and add a painterly effect to a photograph. In the example below, from left to right are thumbnails of the original image, an image of clouds and a texture purchased from Flypaper Textures.
The clouds and texture are placed in layers over the original image and different blending modes (usually overlay or softlight) are used in conjunction with different opacities to create the desired effect. The amount of effect and its placement in the image is further controlled via layer masks.
In this example a gradient map in the color blending mode was also selectively applied to parts of the image.
The final image, titled "Early One Morning" is shown below.
