Photographers spend huge amounts of effort talking about light and the varied qualities of light – just to get a better understanding of shadows! With “Mastering Shadows, Form and Texture In Photography” you will have it!
Ambient Light: Ambient light is the type of light we will be using most often. Here we completely cover what it is and the best ways to use it! After we’ve learned how to manipulate the light, we can control the shadows that form our shapes and textures.
The Key/Main Light: You can’t learn to control your shadows, you have to completely understand the illumination that is forming them! Every type of light whether it is natural light or studio strobes (or both) creates its unique set of shadows. As well as its own set of difficulties and opportunities!
Shadows: The shape, their location and how deep the shadows are - and your ability to control them - is what will change your photos from boring, lifeless "pictures" into art pieces you will be proud to not just hang on the wall, but you’ll be excited about signing them too!
The Fill Light: Here is the key to controlling the darkness of the shadows and injecting emotion into your work.
Solving Problem Areas With (Or Without) Shadows: Every face and every scene will have flawed areas that you can "solve" in your camera. Every model you’ll photograph deserves and wants to look like it’s the best day ever! It's your responsibility as a shooter to make sure it happens.
Glare: Reflections of light in eyeglasses can easily detroy a photo. Plus it is extremely difficult to "handle it" in Photoshop. Fixing it in the camera is basically easy once you learn how.
You’re closer than you’d imagine to shooting truly amazing photos that’ll be the envy of your friends and family!
