In this episode, We talk about:



* Hard Light

* The Aspects of Light: (Quality – Direction – Altitude – Color – Intensity – Texture)

* Shaping Light



Hard Light

Using hard light to reveal texture in a scene could be a powerful tool. Hard lights leave sharp edge shadows. Think of hard light like a focused beam. Hard light can feel  more contrasty and create depth. The smaller the source, the harder the light will be.

Aspects of Light



* Quality – Hard vs. Soft

* Direction – Light positioning and adjusting the angle.

* Altitude- High vs. Low

* Color – Warm vs. cool

* Intensity – Bright vs. Dark

* Texture – Creating texture on objects with the use of light.



 

Shaping Light

Shaping the light your lights can add a 3d like quality to your images. It helps with creating depth and contrast. You can shape light with the use of flags and barn doors.
