In this on location course, I want to help you to sharpen your awareness to the natural light and all the nuances it offers you to play with in your photography. For everyone shooting film, this skill is vital but I personally believe in always getting things right while taking photos instead of trying to fix my mistakes afterwards, no matter what camera I use. So I want to take you on a journey from daytime to the night where we will be covering a variety of light situations such as:

Open shade
Reflected light
Direct sun and shadows
Directed light indoors
...

These are just some bullet points but you will see that within these light situations there are so many nuances that can separate a good image from a great one if you know how to find the sweet spot and play with it. Painting with the light, also always means to be playing with composition and that will play a role in our journey. I want to make sure that you gain an understanding for how the light behaves so that you can apply your learnings in any situation you might find yourself in with your camera. In this course, I will be taking portraits but not matter if you photograph documentary, architecture or street, this course will help you grow as a photographer.

To enjoy this course, you should have a basic understanding of the exposure triangle and what it means to expose correctly. I would say intermediate sums up best who this course is for but if you're an ambitious beginner, go for it! Also, once I get started talking about photography I can't help it but dropping tips, tricks and thoughts about photography along the way : )
