Understanding light is one of the fundamentals of photography. You can spend as much money on kit, get the most beautiful compositions of the most amazing places and people - but if you don't understand light and it's inappropriate for the subject your images will never be exciting.
The key is the word 'appropriate'. Light changes all the time so you have to find light and subject which work together - then work fast before the light changes again. Light is a big subject so we're dedicating a lot of videos to helping you understand it. In Understanding Light 1a we're going to introduce the concept of appropriate light for the subject and show you an example of what works in hard light.
For these tutorials we'll only be working with available light and will look into flash lighting in other videos. So please join us on a step by step tutorial where we work through taking a shot which is completely dependent on understanding light and how it works. Then check out Pat 1b for the next step.
