Assignment three has now been sent off to my tutor so it's time to start on part 4, 'Light'. This is a very interesting chapter as I feel this is where I am as a photographer. I am experimenting a lot with light, both artificial and natural at the moment. An area of photography I am becoming ever more interested in is fashion. One of the reasons it appeals to me is the way light is used in this genre.
As an example see the image below from photographer Nicole Nodman. The lighting 'effect' is as much part of this image as is the girl, the clothing, the plant to her right and the out of focus background. The light is not 'just there' but our attention is actively drawn to it and the way it unifies the image.
