In this first step, begin your journey with the central core of image creation - light. Explore the value of understanding luminance, color and contrast. Identify the characteristics of what direct and compel our focus and attention in the images we create.
Continue to develop a study in light. Go on set with photographer, Chris Knight, as he discusses and practically displays the language of light.

Understand the relationship, the cause and effect of changing from small to large light sources, adjusting distance for effect. Begin to hone your abi...
