| Just as there are countless emotions so there are Lighting Styles suitable for their expression. Before engaging in creating lighting style one needs to grasp understanding of basic properties of light as without it, creative approach will prove to have been quite a futile undertaking. In contrary to popular belief, photographic understanding of light does not come from books and/or teachers. It is rather a result of one's observation and contemplation of its natural phenomena in nature. There will be no Lighting without understanding of Light. Lighting is a relationship between Light - Subject - Viewer. Lighting is rarely about recreating Reality... It rather is about our subjective interpretation of it, and that is what makes it so exciting. Light is around us and it has been for billions of years... Not a single moment ever the same - Panta Rhei. Those who tune in, get rewarded with Perpetual Ligh Show in Progress. Afterall, all that we do on professional Stages, Studios and Locations are but infantile approaches into simulating something that flickers out there from the beginning of Time. From the cinematography point of view Light Attributes we need to be concerned with are: Light Quality Light Ambiance Light Direction Lighting Style |
