Description

Light in photography is like a painter’s brush. It can turn a flat scene into a three-dimensional, atmospheric work of art. In this guide, you’ll learn to feel and manipulate light to enhance your images. We’ll cover natural lighting at different times of day — from soft morning light to harsh midday sun — and teach you how to control studio equipment, including softboxes, flashes, reflectors, and diffusers, to emphasize form, texture, and mood. A dedicated section focuses on shadow, showing how it can create dramatic, cinematic effects. Practical exercises include both studio setups and outdoor shoots to reinforce the lessons.
Format: interactive online lesson with demonstrations + PDF summary with lighting diagrams.
