What’s the fastest way to finally understanding photography? Seeing Light is one way …
What about training your eyes? Yes, your eyes. Those beautiful precious things you’ve ignored for too long. They’re the reason you see light, correct? So wouldn’t you want to finally realize what to look for?
Because it’s easy to take light for granted. It’s the most common property in the entire world. And us photographers have decided, for some ridiculous reason, that we’ll force light to work for us. Think of how crazy that sounds.
We’re trying to force the most powerful thing in the world do what we want.
Trying to see a thing that doesn’t care about days, or years, or even lifetimes. Yes, light exists outside of time. Look it up in Google if you don’t believe me.
Yet that’s the challenge, the thrill of it. As photographers, we’ve realize that you can still manipulate light to achieve beautiful effects. It is hard. Not everyone can do it. But that’s why you learn.
With Seeing Light, you’ll train your eyes to see light the way a professional does. You’ll learn in a workshop setting – you’ll even see other students ask questions –about mastering the best approaches to “seeing” light.
Lesson by lesson, from the very beginning principles to the hardest to find epiphanies, you’ll learn what it means to work with light.
What does seeing light even mean?
Good question. Seeing light is actually understanding that light comes in different colors, weights, heats, and textures.
But think of this video as your prism to break up light into its photographic components. Components that you’ll use to shoot better photographs. Use to understand the essentials to beauty, glamour, portrait, and Rembrandt lighting.
But this DVD teaches more than theory. You’ll also learn the professional techniques to studio lighting. You’ll learn how to use softboxes. How to use large lights. How to use black backgrounds or white backgrounds.
How to use high key lighting. How to direct a models. How to keep things simple. Basically, all things needed for a successful shoot.
But if I had to sell this DVD to my family, this is what I would say to them. First, understanding the qualities of light is crucial. Second, what’s better than learning with others? With this DVD, you’ll get the real workshop experience.
You’ll be treated like a student. And that’s not a bad thing. You remember college right? Besides the parties, late-night dinners, and freedom, what was the best thing about it?
For me, it was the ability to learn by questioning everything. Being in a seminar, your own little Greek symposium, or Socratic circle, where you learn by breaking things down.
Seeing Light is your own seminar at home, whenever you need it. Ready to help you explore the qualities of light.
