Still Life Photography: Light and Shadow

Like any other profession, there are many specializations you can choose from in the field of photography. The order in which you choose to examine photography is entirely up to you. However, I recommend you try still life photography first because like still life painting, still life photography teaches you how shadow and light interact. If you are unable to understand how light affects your images, then you will not succeed at taking good photos.

Hello and welcome to my new neck of the woods where I’ll be talking about photography and other of life’s issues!  My pen name is Protonx and I’ll be recording my thoughts on beginning photography, mainly dealing with some of the choices you may be faced with when taking pictures.

I have many years of photography experience (more than I’d like to admit, ha!) and enjoy writing and sharing my experiences with anybody looking for help and the ability to listen.
