As a photographer I am the observer of light and human behavior. I see what works, what doesn't work and what would be helpful. Everyone is taking photographs these days but so many photos are awful only because the photographer does not know some basics. By reading my blog and following my simple tips your photographs will become better and you will be proud of your photographs as well. Also visit my web site: www.charlottebell.com

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.
