Photographers spend massive amounts of time talking about light and the varied 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 type of light we will be working with the most. Here we completely investigate what it is and the best ways to use it! Once we know how to work with the light, we are able to manipulate the shadow qualities that define our shapes and textures.
The Main/Key Light: You can’t learn to master your shadows, you will have to completely master the illumination that is making them! Every light source whether it is natural light or studio strobes (or both) makes its unique set of shadows. As well as its unique set of problems and opportunities!
Shadows: The shape, their location and how deep the shadows are - and your ability to control them - is what will change your photographs from dull, lifeless "pictures" into something you’ll be proud to not only put on your wall, but you’ll be excited about signing them as well!
The Fill Light: Here’s the key to mastering the darkness of your shadows and bringing emotion into your art.
Fixing Problem Areas With (Or Without) Shadows: Each face and each scene has flaws that you can "solve" in the camera. Each subject you’ll photograph deserves and wants to look like it’s the best day ever! It's your responsibility as a shooter to make that happen.
Glare: Glare in eyeglasses can (without doubt) ruin a photo. Plus it's extremely hard to "fix" in PS. Fixing it in the camera is basically easy once 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!
