Photography, as the name suggests, is the process of creating images with light. But if you use only light, the entire image will be pure white (or any other color). So we also need the absence of light, or shadows, to create and showcase what we want. It's the interplay between light and shadows that creates the final image.
What many photographers aspire to do is to be able to tell a story with their images -- to create pictures that make the viewer keep looking as they dig deeper and deeper into layers of the photograph.
