Abstract
Recent observations of black hole shadows have revolutionized our ability to probe gravity in extreme environments. This manuscript presents a novel analytic method to calculate, in leading-order terms, the key parameters of photon sphere and shadow radius. This method offers advantages for complex metrics where traditional approaches are cumbersome. We further explore the impact of black hole mass on the photon sphere radius, providing insights into black hole interactions with their surroundings. Our findings contribute significantly to black hole physics and gravity under extreme conditions. By leveraging future advancements in observations, such as the next-generation Event Horizon Telescope (ngEHT), this work paves the way for even more precise tests of gravity near black holes.
