It almost seems counter-intuitive -- being a serious enthusiast photographer for nearly a year now, and only just beginning to appreciate how important it is to be in complete control of light. Light is to photography as water is to the human body. Both make up an integral part of what you get. Shaping it gives you much more control over the outcome.
In fact, photographers might as well be called lightcrafters.
So, i'ver embarked on a new area, previously uncharted for me. I've set up a simple home studio, single strobe, single umbrella. As budget permits, i hope to grow that a bit. I've collected all the materials i need to create a DIY lightbox, it's a matter of nailing it all together now.
This is going to be fun.
