I got you!"Traditionally, we are taught to embrace things like golden hour, cloudy days, and soft sunlight. And those things are great! Some of the most gut-punchingly beautiful images I’ve seen have been taken in this light. They are popular for a reason and the light is freaking stunning. I love photographs taken in golden hour!The secret though? It’s that you can shoot literally anytime of day you want. And for your client work? It’s totally in your control. Personally, I love shooting in all the light and show all the light in my portfolios. Full sun? Sounds great. Golden hour? You know I love it. 6pm on a winter night? I’ll grab my flash. There’s a reason I can do this though and it’s not 100% because I know I can do it. It’s also because I show it!"Want to work on light this week? Wonderful! Grab twenty of your favorite photographs and see if there's a common denominator with the light. Ask yourself:What do you like? What stands out? What kind of light makes you feel refreshed?And Remember! There's no one right answer to anything!You've got this!!
