I can't say enough about light. The quality of it gives your photographs the emotional value that they each possess. The direction of it, the temperature, the amount, ...every aspect of it can affect your photo in a different way. I am learning that by manipulating the light I can give my photographs more feeling. The pure sunlight can give the photo a playful feel, the cloudy overcast skies can make the photo moody and sometime mysterious, the warm light of the sunset gives photos a romantic glow...and on and on. These few photos were taken in the middle of the day, but with some control of the light I was able to get the perfect tone and highlights....of course it didn't hurt that she was beautiful.
Photo Tip: Control the light by using diffusers like standing some one next to a window with sheer curtains if there is a lot of sunlight pouring inside. Or reflectors, like having a person hold a white poster board underneath their chin for fill light.
