Tutorial Thursday- Finding the light
First off, thank you to Holly for allowing me to share some of my photos with her fabulous readers!! I am obsessed with workshops and in my last one I learned about dramatic lighting. Now, it turns out I’m obsessed with dramatic lighting. This was always a technique that I was very intimated to try. I was so surprised when I realized it was easier than I thought. Basically, you want to keep an eye out for light that is fighting with the darkness. I prefer a darker area with a small amount of light, however, some people prefer a brighter area where the darkness is a little more subtle. Play around and see which you prefer.
