How Did They Light That?


Dallas Center for Photography

As photographers expand their shooting skills, they usually want to learn more about light. How to see it, use it and control it. One of the best ways is to look at what others have done by studying their photos. The clues are there in the photos you admire, but until you have an understanding of how light is affected by location, environment, tools, techniques and settings it’s hard to figure out what goes into an image by just looking at it. 

In this class we’ll look at photos that you and your fellow students submit ahead of time. The instructor will help you figure out how it was lit and give some tips on what it might take to recreate that particular look. This could include work from any genre of photography and by any photographer – if the light captured your attention then let’s take a look at why! If you have shots of your own that didn’t turn out as you thought, include a couple of them and we’ll talk about what might have helped. Sometimes we’ll discover that images you’re curious about are actually composites of two or more photos, which is why they might look impossible to create. By learning to see the light in photos you’ll train yourself to see the light when you’re on location or in the studio.

This class is ONLINE.
