Studio Photography: Lighting as a Creative Resource

Studio photography: Lighting as a creative resource

“We have already seen everything necessary to understand and understand the light in our photographs, with the concept of lighting as a creative resource and the analysis of images as the main engine to start looking for our own light. Now is the time for you to put all that knowledge into practice. Look for that photograph that so much catches your attention, research your favorite photographer, choose a photograph of him and start working. You can try to draw the lighting scheme, think what modifiers may have been used, how many points of light ... and as the movement is shown walking, try it yourself, and make the most similar version of that photograph you can. Remember that the project of the course is to replicate the light of the photograph in which you have been inspired, but if you dare to take the next step and give your own touch by changing some light, adding or removing to simplify or create another environment , you will have managed to enter the world of light as the main creative resource. And believe me, it's an exciting world! You can use studio flashes or hand flashes, remember that light is light, but look for light to have the quality that is necessary. The modifier is very important, keep it in mind ... do not lose sight of your reference to get lost, and do not be afraid to try or experiment. Remember that the rules are always at the service of the final photo. Good luck with the project! I really want to see what you are capable of doing. Regards!”
