I am amazed, and not a little humbled, how the quantity of light affects the evocative quality of images. Sunbursts through clouds, starring effects of light, and, of course, the way we use studio lights to utilize highlights and shadows–all are tricks of the trade, but tricks are the core of what makes images so powerful. Shooting world-shaking events or exotic landscapes and people does not require much attention to light short of making sure your subject is well enough lit but taking pictures of the workaday world in which we live that we see these images with reawakened eyes requires a closer study of light and its effects.
