Lesson One, Let there Be Natural Light

Notice the many differences in "natural" light illustrated in this collection of photos. Monet was always fooling around, painting bridges under different lighting conditions. Open shade, direct sun, bounce light, fog. See these differences and you can soon learn to create them on location. Communicate this language of light to a photographer, pick techniques that show your project to its advantage, and actually get what you want out of a photo shoot. I'll post a new lesson every couple weeks, they will all be on file here, and I hope you all find them useful and fun.
