Your photographs can communicate... What something or someone was like: Even if you don’t have ambitions of showing your images to a larger audience—which is something that I intended to do with the image on the left—it is likely that you want to at least remember what something or someone was like for yourself. My family snap on the right still communicates what my wife and daughter were like at the time of our holiday, and what our holiday location was like too. A sense of story: It’s not necessarily a sense of an elaborate story, but more like the Hemingwayan six-word stories. On the left, the story could be something like this: “A scratched, old, red tea kettle is being heated on hot coals in a dark room.” With a more thought-out composition—with all the elements and the interaction in the image on the right—the story gets more complex and this is usually what happens in such cases. A sense of mood, ambiance or atmosphere: Natural light can be used to make an image communicate to the senses before it does anything else. The left image doesn’t strike us as one with an immediate sense of story, it’s more about how it makes us feel the moisture from the fog and the warmth emanating from the golden light. Some images clearly communicate a sense of mood and a sense of story. There’s definitely a sense of story in the bigger girl closing her eyes while pulling the smaller girl by the hand as they run (right). The mood is achieved in large part due to the colors, for which the particular lighting scenario is responsible. The Role of Natural Light All of your photographs communicate a sense of story and natural light certainly contributes to that sense of story. On the most basic level—if there’s no light, there’s no way to make a photo. There’s an incredible range of nuances in which natural light can illuminate things. The nuances of natural light affect how things look within the frame and that ultimately shapes what stories we communicate. That is why Natural light is likely the most important story-telling tool in photography, alongside composition. When it comes to working with natural light, there are two important things creatively: - Recognize what the light does / how it affects the scene. - Decide on the framing that will make sense of it all. What’s really important to understand and remember is that: Our stories, whether really basic or more elaborate, can be more emphatic and more convincing when we use natural light deliberately. If you’d like to learn exactly how to use natural light to communicate your stories. You can learn about it more inside chapter one of this course.
