We use up huge a lot of time talking about light and the varied types of light – just to get a more complete understanding of shadows! With “Mastering Shadows, Form and Texture In Photography” you will have it!



Ambient Light: This is the sort of light we will be using most often. Here we thoroughly investigate what it is and the best ways to use it! After we’ve learned how to control the light, we are able to control the shadow qualities that create our shapes and textures.

The Main/Key Light: Before you can learn to master your shadows, you need to completely master the illumination that is forming them! Every type of light whether it’s ambient light or studio strobes (or both) makes its unique set of shadows. And its unique set of difficulties and opportunities!

Shadows: The way they are shaped, their position and depth of the shadows - and your ability to control them - is what will change your photos from dull, lifeless "snapshots" into art pieces you’ll be proud to not only hang on the wall, but you will be excited about signing them too!

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

Fixing Facial Flaws With (Or Without) Shadows: Every face and every 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 is your job as a shooter to make that happen.

Glare: Glare in eyeglasses can easily ruin a photograph. Plus it's incredibly difficult to "handle it" in PS. Dealing with it in the camera is basically easy after you learn how.

You are closer than you’d think to creating truly amazing photographs that’ll be the envy of your friends and family!
