    A teacher once told me the best way to learn photography is to start out in black and white. All the color schemes disappear and the only thing left to focus on is the light and shadows. Excellent advice Roman! Just discovered your account and I've been binging your videos since :) Great content!

      I've mostly always shot in bnw the past few months, it seems more lifelike to me for some reason, so much can be conveyed without the distraction of the color

    One of the most simple yet informative video i’ve seen explaining light. You’ve done a great job explaining this and I think more people need to understand it

  • @tonygreenwoodN10
    @tonygreenwoodN10 2 года назад +130

    This is possibly one of the best 10 minute videos on photography I have seen. Of course, it's bleedin' obvious when you think about it...but sometimes we (or certainly, I) need the bleedin' obvious pointed out! Thank you Roman!

    "A good photograph is knowing where to stand" - Ansel Adams Not sure if he was necessarily speaking of the light, but I'm guessing that was part of it. As always enjoyed, and I know you guys don't celebrate Thanksgiving... but happy thanksgiving anyway!

  • @idlikeabetternickname
    @idlikeabetternickname 2 года назад +4

    The way you present things is the best. I've watched all the "mainstream" photographers on YT and they couldn't explain this particular topic to me. All of the had at least one tut video on this subject. Good job dude.

  • @mfueelcikxe
    @mfueelcikxe 2 года назад

    Many thanks for sharing your knowledge! Looking back at my favourite pictures you are certainly right about the lighting.

  • @citronmeringue8166
    @citronmeringue8166 2 года назад +2

    Awesome video Roman, thank you! I'm actually always so oblivious in regards to light I never even pay attention to where its source is - now the whole way it works is much more clear. Very excited to try this in practice and also the idea of contrasty images looking sharper is such an epiphany tbh.

  • @andreym7012
    @andreym7012 2 года назад

    This subject can be brought up over and over again :) Always relevant, yet usually neglected. Thank you Roman, as always!

  • @addsy6396
    @addsy6396 2 года назад +7

    Thank you! This really helps so much. I guess, I’ve always been drawn to capture images with a certain tonal quality but never quite understood what it was that made them that way. It was normally dumb luck when I came across scenes that looked appealing. This kind of puts the power back in my hands to make the images happen rather than stumble upon them

  • @orsygodri1155
    @orsygodri1155 2 года назад +6

    This is absolutely amazing. Since I've been following your photography I started noticing how light can actually help frame a subject and bring a boring composition to life. Great stuff as always Roman! Thank you.

  • @victorcarmelo8606
    @victorcarmelo8606 2 года назад

    Another wonderful video about making sense of the most important part of photography, light. No hip language, no gimmicks, just plain logic and common sense yet still very interesting and entertaining too. Well done young man. Thanks.

  • @TheArtist441

    Absolutely fantastic video. I’ve heard people say that light is the most important thing, but it never clicked, until this video. I’ve been on the hunt for creating the most amount of 3D depth in my photos and your video put the most important piece of the puzzle in for me, in an understandable way!

  • @rickguzman9463
    @rickguzman9463 2 года назад +2

    As an amateur who's just getting into photography, this succinct advice about side and back lighting is just what I needed to hear. I'm just in the point of my (street photography) learning journey where I'm beginning to pay attention to light sources. Thanks for the helpful video.

  • @neildunlop1574
    @neildunlop1574 2 года назад

    Probably the best, most concise discussion of light with the most impact that I've ever heard. So simple it hurts but stunningly effective. A real 'ah-ha' moment for me!

  • @TonyCYeung
    @TonyCYeung 2 года назад

    I came across Mr. Fox's video by chance and I am glad I did. Roman speaks clearly and the material he presents are well structured and organized. I surely have greatly benefited from learning from him.

    Thank you so much, Roman! I'm a beginner in photography, and I need to literally teach my class about it for an assignment! I've been into it for about 2 years, but because I'm in middle school, I haven't had much time, or the camera... until now from my mother, because she used to be a photographer. You helped so much!

  • @sexysilversurfer

    Interesting bit about the warm colour tone of the low in sky sunlight and the cool tones of the shade, I have seen it but never thought about it as a creative tool.

  • @ivanbarker
    @ivanbarker 2 года назад

    Love your videos Roman. Been watching you for roughly a year now since I first started taking photography more seriously. Interesting, extremely informative and unique compared to a lot of other photography RUclipsrs. Also love the simple, slightly minimalistic style (Maybe that's just my interpretation, but I like it). Big fan, will be following your journey for as long as you do RUclips. Keep it up!

    Excellent video Roman. I guess that puts to bed the old adage "never shoot a picture into the sun". I really like the advice from photographer Bryan Petersen. - All photographs are just contrast. I have tried to use this and look for contrasting light or color to bring out my subject. I like your practical tips a lot. Thanks for sharing 😃

    Spot on Roman! Subscribed. When I can carve out time to do photography I tend to find myself in the forest. And 99% of the keepers are images captured toward the light. Keep up the good work!
