Description
Light is the foundation of photography. In this course, you will learn how to see, understand, and control light in any environment — indoors, outdoors, natural or artificial.

Many beginners believe that mastering light takes years. In reality, once you understand a few essential principles, everything becomes logical and manageable. This course explains light in simple, clear language without complicated technical jargon.

You will learn how to distinguish between hard and soft light, warm and cool light, natural and artificial sources. You will understand how light direction (front, side, back, Rembrandt lighting) changes depth, volume, and facial features in portraits. We will also explore key light and fill light, and how shadows create dimension in your images.
