About this course

To make your images really stand out, sometimes you need to break the rules. Learn how to create a silhouette using window light as a backlight and fill in with flash. Create a mix of different color temperatures by combining available light with flash. Use entrances and doorways to take advantage of natural diffused light. When shooting outdoors in sunlight or shade, consider the direction of light and how it falls on your subject.
