Photographers spend tremendous amounts of effort discussing light and the varied qualities of light – to get a better understanding of shadows! With “Mastering Shadows, Form and Texture In Photography” you will have it!
Ambient Light: This is the type of light we’ll be working with the most. Here we thoroughly cover what it is plus the best ways to use it! After we’ve learned how to control the light, we can control the shadow qualities that define our shapes and textures.
The Main/Key Light: Before you can discover how to master the shadows, you need to completely understand the light that is forming them! Each light source whether it is natural light or studio light (or both) makes its unique set of shadows. As well as its own set of difficulties and opportunities!
Shadows: The way they are shaped, their location and how deep the shadows are - and your ability to control them - is what’ll upgrade your photos from boring, lifeless "snapshots" into art pieces you’ll be proud to not just put on the wall, but you will be excited about signing them too!
The Fill Light: Here is the key to controlling the depth of your shadows and bringing emotion into your art.
Solving Problem Areas With (Or Without) Shadows: Every face and every scene has flaws that you can "repair" in your camera. Every subject you shoot deserves and wants to look like a million bucks! It's your responsibility as a shooter to make that happen.
Glare: Glare in glasses can easily detroy a portrait. Aditionally it is incredibly hard to "fix" with Photoshop. Fixing it in camera is really easy once you know how.
You’re closer than you would think to creating truly amazing photos that’ll be the envy of your friends and family!
