You see a black-and-white photo of a quiet city street at night. Lights from shop windows and street lamps make long, sharp shadows. The buildings look empty but the light feels alive. Cafetzis took this shot in Athens in 2004. He uses long exposures to catch every spark of light. The dark spaces between the lights feel heavy. Try looking up chiaroscuro to see how light and dark play together.
