Hacking Photography - one Picture at a time
A lot of the time when we look at a well executed image we think about how it was lit. And a lot of times, the strobes and softboxes and other light modifiers photographers use have a huge impact on the final photo.
But sometimes having a good natural light source and a good understanding of light is all you need.
I saw this photograph by photographer Maxim Guselnikov and was surprised to learn it was all natural light.
Maxim told DIYP how the photo was made:
Some of you may be old enough to remember the 1992 US presidential election between Bill Clinton and George Bush Sr.
One of the key mantras for the Clinton campaign was the phrase “The Economy, Stupid”, which was meant to remind the campaign team that the economy was the crux of the whole election.
So, what does the election of Bill Clinton twenty one years ago to be the President of the United States have to do with photography?
Nothing – it’s just an interesting back story.
But, now that you’re paying attention, I’m going to apply some political spin, and the famous “It’s The Economy, Stupid” phrase to photography:
It’s The Light, Stupid.
