Talk: Matt Grum on Light

Published on March 10, 2009 in Information by PhotoSoc. 0 Comments

The word “photography” comes from the Greek φώς (phos) “light” + γραφίς (graphis) “stylus”, “paintbrush” or γραφή (graphê) “representation by means of lines” or “drawing”, together meaning “drawing with light.” – Wikipedia

Light is fundamental to everything we do in photography yet the way in which it behaves can seem confusing at times.This talk will explore the properties of light in a non-technical way through the use of live demonstrations, and explain how this can be used to benefit different types of photography.

Strobist gear will be available so you do not need to bring anything apart from some enthusiasm and a camera with a standard hot-shoe (we will have demonstration cameras).

It’s recommended that you understand the basics of exposure before coming to the workshop. In other words, you know about ISO, shutter-speed and aperture and how they relate.
