Just as there are countless emotions so there are Lighting Styles suitable for their expression. Before
engaging in creating Lighting Style one needs to grasp understanding of basic properties of light as without
it, creative approach will have proven to have been quite a futile undertaking. In contrary to popular belief,
photographic understanding of light does not come from books and/or teachers. It is rather a result of one's
observation and contemplation of its natural phenomena in nature.
There is no Lighting without understanding of Light. Lighting is a relationship between Light - Subject - Viewer.
Lighting is rarely about recreating Reality... It rather is a subjective interpretation of reality and that is what
makes it so exciting. Light is around us and it has been for billions of years...
Not a single moment ever the same - Panta Rhei.
Those who tune in, get rewarded with perpetual Light Show in progress. After all, what we do on Stages,
Studios and Locations are but infantile approaches to simulation of something that flickers out there from the
beginning of Time.
In cinematography Light Attributes we need to be concerned with are:
Light Quality, Light Ambiance, Light Direction, Lighting Style
