Capturing Light – Episode 27 – Lighting Lesson 2

In this episode, We talk about: Hard Light The Aspects of Light: (Quality – Direction – Altitude – Color – Intensity – Texture) Shaping Light Hard Light Using hard light to reveal texture in a scene could be a powerful tool. Hard lights leave sharp edge shadows. Think of hard light like a focused beam. Hard light can feel  more contrasty and create depth. The smaller the source, the harder the light will be. Aspects of Light Quality – Hard vs. Soft Direction – Light positioning and adjusting the angle. Altitude- High vs. Low Color – Warm vs. cool Intensity – Bright vs. Dark Texture – Creating texture on objects with the use of light.   Shaping Light Shaping the light your lights can add a 3d like quality to your images. It helps with creating depth and contrast. You can shape light with the use of flags and barn doors.
