Photographers spend huge amounts of effort discussing light and the varied types of light – to get a more complete understanding of shadows! With “Photo Mastery - Shadows, Form And Texture” you will have it!

Ambient Light: Ambient light is the type of light we will be using most often. Here we completely investigate what it is plus how to work with it! Once we know how to control the light, we are able to manipulate the shadows that define our shapes and textures.

The Key/Main Light: You can’t learn to master your shadows, you have to fully understand the illumination that’s making them! Each type of light whether it is ambient light or studio strobes (or both) creates its own set of shadows. And its own set of problems and opportunities!

Shadows: The way they are shaped, their location and depth of the shadows - and your ability to control them - is what will upgrade your photographs from dull, lifeless "snapshots" into something you will be proud to not only hang on the wall, but you’ll be proud to sign them as well!

The Fill Light: Here’s the key to controlling the depth of your shadows and injecting feeling into your art.

Solving Problem Areas Using (Or Not Using) Shadows: Every face and every scene has flaws that you’ll be able to "fix" in the camera. Every subject you photograph deserves and wants to look like it’s the best day ever! It is your goal as a shooter to make that happen.

Glare: Glare in glasses can (without doubt) detroy a portrait. Plus it is incredibly difficult to "fix" in PS. Dealing with it in the camera is really easy after you learn how.



You’re closer than you’d imagine to shooting truly amazing photographs that will be the envy of your friends and family!
