For our first photo assignment of 2020, we're going to be studying available light. As we put this into practice we will move towards still life and portrait images, but first we need a deep dive to understand what light is doing in an environment during the day. I also want to talk about the works of several great photographers that show us how light can be an integral part of composition.
