“Shed light” on your understanding of light in your photographs. Employ natural light and flash to bring out the best in your subject. Capture the excitement of a sporting event or wedding. Know when you travel that you will return with the photos you dreamed of.

Simple headshots, portraits and photos of children and animals all will be enhanced when you use lighting well. Use lights on location, in the home, while traveling or in a studio.

Take the mystery and insecurity out of using a flash, and get comfortable modifying the light with reflectors, soft boxes and umbrellas. Make the light work for your creative ideas and modify it further with a computer program. Light is the essence of a photograph, so make your light beautiful, emotional, moody and charged with drama.
