Light and photography

Does all this seem confusing? The reason why it’s so confusing, is, it’s so simple. Really. It is. We complicate matters. Think about a great blues solo. Simple. The worlds best bands- often using three chords, no more. Simple. The best images in photography are often very, very simple use of light.The key here is to learn how to use it, simply. Use it to bring out results, to elicit a feeling, a mood and paint a picture. What we need to learn is to see light. There is always a light source and that is the key. Look at how the light is reflecting on the face. Just turning you subject will change everything. Experiment. It's digital.
