LIGHT THE TABLE
Super quick animation that shows how this image was lit. Buckle up, because this is fast, and don’t bother about the link in the end. It doesn’t work anymore.

The language of light gives you as a photographer creative power. Or as Wittgenstein putted it: “Limits of my language mean the limits of my world”.
Portrait of Doolin.
We are collecting words for a dictionary of light, and would love to know what words you are using when doing portrait lighting (or any other kind of light shaping). Send us an email with your terminology, and be a part of this project!
