The term shedding light is often used in the context of explanatory texts. I have dozens of photos I have tried to take of someweird thing in the inside of my mouth using the flash on my phone, or sometimes a combination of torch and flash, awkwardlyboth positioned in one hand. To see some little fleshy nodule or chewed bit of mouth. And the photos are inevitably over orunder exposed or blurry or at the wrong angle. Illumination is perhaps not the same as more light, it is often something thathappens in and because of the dark.
