What our members say


An article from our Professional Imagemaker archive
The Big Light
Receiving an assignment to light and photograph a gigantic, shiny object such as this 80-foot, orange, semi-trailer truck would put the fear of God into most us, but it need not if you employ the correct principles of lighting to the challenge.

Photo Quote: It is light that reveals, light that obscures, light that communicates. It is light I "listen" to. The light late in the day has a distinct quality, as it fades toward the darkness of evening. After sunset there is a gentle leaving of the light, the air begins to still, and a quiet descends. I see magic in the quiet light of dusk. I feel quiet, yet intense energy in the natural elements of our habitat. A sense of magic prevails. A sense of mystery. It is a time for contemplation, for listening - a time for making photographs. - John Sexton
