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.
