Description
Imagine this: You show up to a gorgeous waterfall that you’ve been to countless times in perfect conditions without getting an image you were happy with. Imagine that it’s the middle of the day and that the whole amphitheater is washed in harsh midday light. Imagine that it’s a popular waterfall and that the area is crawling in tourists.
This is probably a situation where you wouldn’t be likely to pull your camera out, right?
Well, what if I told you that this exact scenario happened to me and despite these conditions, I got the only shot of this waterfall that's made it into my portfolio and become an image that I am deeply connected to?
In 'There’s No Such Thing As Bad Light', I'll tell you exactly how I'm able to come home with portfolio images from days like this and how you can do the same. I'm not talking about bad light as in overcast days, I'm talking about harsh, direct, 'crappy' light.
The eBook includes many examples of photographs that I've captured during midday light and while I talk about my approach to those photographs from a technical standpoint with in-field context, the meat of this presentation is the creation of a fresh creative view and interpretation of the way that light behaves during the middle of the day and the ways it can be used to create compelling and meaningful images.
