Capturing Light
To capture a photograph, light has to be present in
some shape or form. Used effectively, lighting can even
become the subject or that supporting player that
works behind the scenes elevating the quality of our
image. When not used effectively, lighting will leave
the image too light, too dark, blurry or even filled with
poorly placed shadows.
Tackling light is one of the most challenging and
rewarding things one will face as a photographer.
Learning how to include light effectively in our
photographs will take them from simple snapshots
to images you would be proud to share with anyone.
The following pages outline some considerations to think
about when preparing for lighting and photography.
