You cannot train light, until light trains you! Then you can ask yourself. Am I controlling light, or is it controlling me?
Today’s video is quick and dirty and it’s about liquid light! Not that old emulsion in a bottle stuff, though that’s cool. Today I want us to stop and think. In recent years I’ve started thinking about how we handle light at a fundamental level. The more I think about light the way I describe today, the more I UNDERSTAND it. Light can have a mind of it’s own. But once you understand it’s nature as I often speak about in my workshops. Everything changes and it opens up a whole new world.
If you don’t fully understand the science of light you need to watch EXposed or study something like it because it will change your entire thought process on light,.

In today’s video we’re going to look at six lighting conditions and talk about the 3 ways to use light. — I talk a lot in my workshops about Zones, tones and planning our images. Today we get to look at years of images from the same scene and the journey to getting the perfect light. We photographers are not controlling light like they could be! And it all starts in how we see and plan our images. Whether it’s a landscape or a portrait. They work the same!
This all boils down to 3 choices. Take it! Make it! Or wait for it! Watch video and then remember these tips.
- If you light you want is not right, look for another perspective that is perfectly lit. Take it.
- If it’s a must have like a portrait, try adding light or filter it with a translucent. Even a bed sheet can soften beautifully.
- Â You don’t need a hundred mediocre photos. Just one amazing one. A cloud or a sunset can change everything. Wait it out.

It’s not about where you are. It’s about how you light.
In today’s Photographic School video we get away from fancy gear and software. We’re going to talk about 5 things you should be using in your mind. Applying these factors will guarantee you better images EVERY time!
We’ll look at 5 images that have all merited at the PPA International Photographic Competition. Watch the video and look at a specific factors in each image that can be applied to any image any time and help build our ability to craft award winning photos images both before and after we release the shutter.
We dig even more deeply into these concepts in the EXposed and PHOTOGRAPHICS series.
Great images start not in the camera but in the mind. Today we’re going to see how!
