Your shadow will fall in the direction opposite the source of light - with you between the light source and the shadow. The direction of your shadow relative to you will depend on what direction you are facing.
- If you are facing toward the light source, the shadow will be behind you.
- If you are facing away from the light source, it will be in front of you.
- If you have the light source to your right, the shadow will be to your left.
- If you have the light source to your left, the shadow will be to your right.
- If the light source is directly above you, the shadow will be directly under you.
- If you move past a light source, your shadow will move from behind you to beside you and then to in front of you.

How does the surface behind a shadow affect the shape and size of an shadow?
If the shadow is on a convex surface, it will be bigger. On a concave surface it will be smaller. If the light source is at a low angle to the opaque object causing the shadow (e.g. you're casting a shadow from a flashlight behind you, to a sidewalk in front), the shadow will be relatively tall. If the angle of the light is high (e.g. sun nearly overhead), the shadow will be short. This will also depend on the angle of the shaded surface.
Where would the sun have to be to make a shadow in front of you?
Your shadow will be in front of you because shadows will always be in the opposite direction from light sources.
