I’ve been working with cinematography for a while, but I’ve realised that understanding lighting is very different from simply knowing different lighting techniques.
At some point, did something click for you?
Maybe it was a film, a cinematographer, a particular shoot, or even one simple lighting mistake that changed the way you see light.
For me, I’m starting to think of light less as a technical tool and more as something that creates emotion, directs attention and shapes the experience of a scene.
What was the moment or lesson that changed the way you understood light?
