In this Skylum original video, professional photographer and photo educator Matt Granger will guide you through taking full control of your lights and shadows in order to create interesting portraits. He’ll cover basic equipment like a simple manual flash and wireless flash triggers and will also explore different kinds of shadows — from soft and subtle to bold and dramatic. The type of shadow you want, he’ll prove, may vary from shot to shot depending upon what story you want to tell. He’ll cover two main concepts: the size of the light and the direction of the light source and how those things affect the shadows and resulting images.
