We spend tremendous amounts of effort talking about light and various qualities of light – just 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 sort of light we’ll be working with most often. Here we completely investigate what it is plus how to work with it! After we’ve learned how to control the light, we are able to manipulate the shadows that define our shapes and textures.

The Key/Main Light: Before you can learn to control the shadows, you need to completely understand the illumination that is forming them! Each light source whether it is natural light or studio light (or both) creates its own set of shadows. And its unique set of problems and opportunities!

Shadows: The way they are shaped, their position and how deep the shadows are - and your ability to control them - is what will change your photographs from dull, lifeless "pictures" into works of art you’ll be proud to not just put on your wall, but you will be proud to sign them as well!

The Fill Light: Here is the key to controlling the darkness of the shadows and injecting emotion into your work.

Fixing Problem Areas With (Or Without) Shadows: Every face and every scene has flaws that you can "solve" in the camera. Every subject you shoot wants and deserves to look like it’s the best day ever! It is your job as the photographer to make that happen.

Glare: Glare in glasses can (without doubt) detroy a portrait. Aditionally it's extremely difficult to "handle it" in PS. Dealing with it in the camera is basically easy once you learn how.

You’re closer than you would think to creating truly amazing photos that’ll be the envy of your associates and family!
