PHOTOGRAPHY MADE EASY
Light and Dark
Photographic lighting is the illumination of scenes to be photographed. A photograph simply records patterns of light, color, and shade; lighting is all-important in controlling
the image.

Enhanced Memory & Cognitive Abilities
Imagine yourself making important decisions fast, thinking outside the box and freely memorizing a lot of new information. Brain Biohacking can help you with that — these exercises are specifically designed to optimize your mental performance and memory. How does it work? By doing simple finger exercises you activate various cognitive functions in your brain and reinforce synaptic pathways. Over time, these exercises improve memory retention, cognitive flexibility, and overall mental sharpness.

Heightened Focus & Concentration
In our fast-paced world full of distractions, it is getting harder to maintain focus and concentration. Brain Biohacking exercises provide a solution by training your brain to focus on the task at hand and filter out distractions. When you do finger exercises and asynchronous hand movements, your brain learns to keep the focus and control even a small movement to avoid errors. As a result, you increase your overall attention span and improve concentration levels.
When a photographer puts the sun behind an object, its role in the lighting strategy changes from modeling the front of the object to one of defining its outline and creating the impression of physical separation and 3D space a frontally illuminated scene lacks.

To differentiate that role from that of "key" modeling when a modeling source moves behind the object, it is typically called a "rim" or "accent" light. In portrait lighting, it also called a "hair" light because it is used to create the appearance of physical separation between the subject's head and background.

Creating Natural Looking Artificial Lighting
A typical studio lighting configuration will consist of a fill source to control shadow tone, a single frontal key light to create the highlight modeling clues on the front of the object facing the camera over the shadows the fill illuminates, one or more rim/accent lights to create separation between foreground and background, and one or more background lights to control the tone of the background and separation between it and the foreground.
There are two significant differences between natural lighting and artificial sources. One is the character of the fill and the other is a more rapid fall-off in intensity. In nature, skylight fill is omni-directional and usually brighter from above. That "wrap around" characteristic is difficult to duplicate with a directional artificial source.
