In this video I go through a few photos that can give you ideas on how to improve your lighting. Here are a few tips to help even more.
- Study photographs! There is no replacement for studying other photographer's work.
- Try to break down how photographs were lit, position of lights & shadow
- Change the pose or angle for a portrait to get a better result
- Watch the lighting on TV shows or movies. They are great at what they do (most of the time...) so pay attention!
- Last one: keep working at it and practicing! Most great photographs don't fall in your lap, you need to CREATE THEM!

Love your style
Great video!
BTW I missed some pictures in your samples where the light-situation has been ignored. As an instructional contrast to your photos, you know?
Keep it up, Greg, I really like your videos and you ´re doing a great favour to us.
Best regards

Great idea

Really good video and perspective. Agree that a few "counter examples" would be good for folks to see - where lighting was poor or incorrectly used.
Just found your site and really like the content and approach.
Wonderful, as always, info in your latest video. I have turned off my image replay on my camera and am going to a farmers market tomorrow and am going to shoot many (hopefully) wonderful things.
This is what I keep over-looking in my compositions! I really appreciate this tutorial.
I am a noob in photography, I study hard, and I have known lighting is important. But it didn't really 'get it' until now, and now I am racing back through tons of photos... "That's it!...That's why it is 'just another photo'!"
I have a rant...you should 'RANT MORE'!!
Thanks again.
Don

hahaha! Your funny :( Where do you think he got his wedding photo ideas? Who did he learn from in college when he couldn't do studio work? ME!
Best wishes.
