Using light as your subject and not just as a photographic tool is perfectly demonstrated in this photograph of sunlight streaming into New York's Grand Central Station as commuters make their way across the concourse.
Light is something you see everywhere and anywhere - in the mornings when you wake up or walking in a gallery or museum or just working somewhere. Everything that the light is hitting here is being lit up. You dont always have to think of your subject as being lit.
Sometimes the light itself can be the subject. If you look at the people in the photograph - none of them are doing much at all - they are just acting in the background. It is all about the light.
