Photographers spend huge amounts of effort discussing light and various qualities of light – to get a more complete understanding of shadows! With “Mastering Shadows, Form and Texture In Photography” you will have it!
Ambient Light: Ambient light is the sort of light we’ll be using most often. Here we thoroughly cover what it is and how to work with it! Once we know how to work with the light, we are able to control the shadow qualities that create our shapes and textures.
The Key/Main Light: Before you can learn to control the shadows, you’ll have to completely understand the light that’s forming them! Each light source whether it’s ambient light or studio strobes (or both) makes its unique set of shadows. And its own set of problems and opportunities!
Shadows: The shape, their position and depth of the shadows - and your mastery of them - is what’ll change your photographs from dull, lifeless "snapshots" into works of art you’ll be proud to not only hang on your wall, but you will be excited about signing them too!
The Fill Light: Here is the key to controlling the darkness of the shadows and bringing emotion into your art.
Fixing Problem Areas With (Or Without) Shadows: Each face and each scene will have flawed areas that you’ll be able to "repair" in the camera. Every subject you’ll photograph deserves and wants to look like a million bucks! It is your responsibility as the shooter to make that happen.
Glare: Reflections of light in glasses can easily ruin a photo. Aditionally it's incredibly hard to "fix" in PS. Dealing with it in camera is really easy once you know how.
You’re closer than you would think to creating truly stunning photographs that will be the envy of your associates and family!
