Light - moving forward

This part of the course introduced me to working with photography at night or low light photography and working with artificial lighting. I think this introduction was a very brief one.  There is a lot more out there for me to learn.  


Whilst I'm not sure that working in a studio is for me I can say that I find the idea of it more interesting and appealing than before.  I still have a lot more to learn about light and I personally don't think I'd be fulfilled as a photographer if there was a big gap in my skill set.  This gap being the use of photographic lighting.  I think photographers encounter enough restrictions in their line of work without adding a self-imposed one to that list. 


The next model I will be signing up to on this degree course is People and Place and I feel being able to work better with all forms of light will be beneficial for me.  


I have been thinking about steps forward and these are some I could take:

• Focus more on shooting with flash and look for ways in can enhance my photography
• Enrol on a studio lighting course
• Read more literature on the practical side of working with light
• Take some time between this module and the next to dedicate some time solely to working with artificial light
• Do more indoor shoots as opposed to relying on the great outdoors
