THE CHALLENGE:
CREATE A SET OF 10-15 PHOTOS OF TATTOOS, PEOPLE, ANYTHING IN INTERESTING LIGHT IN YOUR OWN ENVIRONMENT. YOU’RE BASICALLY ON THE HUNT FOR LIGHT THAT LOOKS INTERESTING TO YOU, MAYBE COMING THROUGH THE BLINDS, OR FROM ONE LIGHT BULB IN A CLOSET, OR EVEN THE COLORED LIGHTS THAT YOU HAVE.

inspiration:
the combination of INTERESTING LIGHT AND SUBJECTS

LOCATION:
THE WORLD IS YOUR PLAYGROUND ON THIS ONE. ALTHOUGH, I’M SURE THERE ARE PLENTY OF REALLY INTERESTING LIGHT PATCHES REALLY CLOSE TO HOME. YOU JUST HAVE TO LOOK FOR THEM AND SHOOT IN THEM.

SHOOTING:
TRY ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT SETTINGS WITH YOUR CAMERA AND LENS.
IF IT’S A SCENE WITH WINDOW LIGHT, FOR EXAMPLE, SHOOT FOR THE HIGHLIGHTS (BRIGHTEST LIGHT) IN THE SCENE, SO THE SHADOWS DROP OFF COMPLETELY OR ALMOST COMPLETELY. THEN, SHOOT FOR THE SHADOWS, SO THE DETAILS APPEAR IN THE SHADOWS. JUST PLAY. THIS IS ALL ABOUT PLAYING, BECAUSE IT’S THE BEST WAY TO LEARN ABOUT LIGHT.


editing:
WE’LL GO THROUGH THE EDITING PROCESS TOGETHER IN OUR NEXT SESSION

the goal:
tHIS CHALLENGE IS ALL ABOUT LEARNING ABOUT HOW INTERESTING LIGHT CAN JUST ADD ANOTHER ELEMENT TO YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS. INTERESTING LIGHT CAN MAKE SOMETHING ORDINARY LOOK EXTRAORDINARY. AND ON TOP OF THAT, IT’S ALL AROUND YOU. YOU JUST HAVE TO START LOOKING FOR IT. THAT’S WHAT WE’RE GOING FOR HERE.
