Understanding Light: A Masterclass

Or log in to access your purchased courses

From the enigma of capturing light to sense its nature, the direction, color, and the quality – one needs to understand light to be a successful photographer. Knowing the camera metering mode or getting the perfect toned photograph are not always the only criteria, we learn and practice endlessly to get the most decisive moment on a perfect light condition to revel the subject in the most artistic way into a photograph with near to perfect highlights and shadows. The aim of the course is to explore that vast area of light along with mastering the light metering mode as well as different tonal contrasts in different light condition and in different locations.
