So let's talk about finding your light. So, whenever we can be looking for light, there's some types of light we need to look for. So we're gonna break it down into four types in this course. So the first one you're going to see is outside soft light, then we're going to look inside soft light, then we're going to look at outside Hard Light. And then we're going to look inside Hard Light. So we're going to look at soft light and hard light, and we're gonna look how you might do that outside.

And we're going to look at how you might do that inside. So I want to keep it really, really, really simple. And one of the things to understand about when it comes to taking photography and finding your light when you're using available light, the light source is fixed. So when we use flash photography or anything or strobe photography, And we can move lights around, we can adjust them, we're in control of the light. So we can move the light to shine on the subject where we want it to. But when we're shooting with available light with natural light, when I say natural light in this, I know my term is a little bit vague.

So I'm saying natural light in terms of available lights that might be unnatural light sources as well. And we'll show you some stuff where that we have to be thinking about all the time is where the light is, what the background is going to be like. And where you need to move yourself or move your subject if you are in control of the subject to take advantage of the available light. So when we're talking about finding your light, it's all about moving your feet changing your position. And if you can change in your subject position, if you're in control of that, and the light sources and it's fixed. Once you start thinking You like that, and we'll talk about this as we go through the gallery section we're going to talk through these principles by showing you photography that have used these principles, then you'll begin to understand how powerful this principle is the first thing you'll look for is a light.

Then you're worried about your subject and your background. And in fact, the correct order usually is light background subject. So let's get into it and start having a look at some of these different variations.
