Outstanding link!
Thank you William, I am loving lighting 101
It is opening up a whole new world for me and blowing my mind!
How often have you heard this, usually with a tone of superiority:
"I am a purist, I only shoot available light."
(Translation: I am scared shitless of flash.)
As an ambient light photographer, you only have one "correct" exposure. Maybe a little wiggle room if you are being interpretive.
But as a lighting photographer, we control everything in the frame, independently of the other areas, by how and where we expose and add light.
At its ultimate, it is a complete gamechanger
and at the very least, I am currently developing a new and improved understanding and appreciation of lighting
