Have a look at these example images using light and dark for dramatic effect.
In photography light is everything. But to have depth and drama you must also have dark and shadow. So it’s your turn to interpret that and see how you can use darkness and light in your images this week.

Look for contrast, drama and moody lighting. Harsh lighting might work in your favour here but isn’t mandatory. Think about shadows, look for subjects with unique shapes.

The post Weekly Photography Challenge – Darkness and Light by Darlene Hildebrandt appeared first on Digital Photography School.
One of the advantages of being a street photographer is that you certainly don’t need to get up before dawn to catch the good light. Harsh sunlight, nighttime and rainy days are only a few of the most desired situations on the streets. Getting up too early, before people are out and about, may actually be counter-productive in your search for the decisive moment.
Any time of day or night, be aware of the quality and quantity of light, and look for interesting light sources and subjects.

The night adds a new dimension to your street photography. There are so many interesting light sources to work with such as street lights, traffic lights, car lights, neon signs, etc. Even bright Smartphone screens illuminating people’s faces can make for a fun shot. Learn to focus manually for night photography. Even if the auto focus works in most conditions, practice switching to manual focus rapidly, it may save the shot!
It’s true that a simple slider action in post-processing can bring out details from the shadows, but that doesn’t mean that you should always use it. This is a common mistake that I see too often when the night scene starts to look like it was shot in the daytime. Let the shadows fall where they do and embrace the atmosphere and mystery of the night.

Don’t worry about noise, especially if you shoot black and white. First, you can now push the ISO of most cameras to very high numbers with very little noise. Second, the little bit of grain in your pictures will enhance the mood and atmosphere. Likewise, embrace the motion blur and the slightly out of focus shots. Who says that a good image has to be tack sharp? What’s the point of technical perfection if your subject is boring, or the story non-existent?

The key to successful silhouette photography is to find a well-defined subject. Remember that not everyone makes an interesting street photography subject and the same principle applies to silhouettes. The shape of the body should be well defined, capturing the right gesture is even more important to achieving a strong image. Many elements can add interest as well, such as umbrellas, bicycles, hats, etc. Watch for obstructions in front of and behind your subject, and if they are moving, make sure you don’t catch them in between steps. Setting your camera in burst mode will increase your chances of getting the right gesture. Remember that your subject is not the background, which can act as a distraction, so do not be afraid to blow out the highlights behind your silhouettes unless it is an integral part of the story.
In order to shoot successful silhouettes, you need to take control of your camera first. Instead to going through all the steps here, check out: How to Photograph Silhouettes in 8 Easy Steps.
Shooting into the sun when it’s low in the sky can create some dramatic shots. Add a sunburst effect when possible. The starburst effect is best achieved by setting your camera at a small aperture and hiding the sun partially behind a structure or person. Experiment with exposure compensation to get a nice dark silhouette and once you’re happy with the result, wait for the right subject to enter your frame, or the right action to happen.

Street photographers love shadows. Similarly to silhouettes, not every shadow works. It should be really dark and well defined. The surface on which it shows will also play a part in the result. It’s important to strategize and position yourself to get the best possible shot, the shadow may hit a wall next to the subject for instance. Long shadows are also really interesting when shot from a higher vantage point. Sometimes it’s all about the shadow, and the subject casting it does not even need to be fully included. This method, if well executed, will add an element of mystery.

Sunlight can create some really cool reflections in windows, puddles, or other surfaces and add interest to your street photography. Don’t be afraid to experiment!
©Valérie Jardin
Harsh sunlight and deep shadows can create ideal situations for the discerning street photographer. The sun comes out after the rain? Even better! The wet pavement will add yet another dimension and interest.
©Valérie Jardin
One of my favorite daylight situations in street photography is when I find a nice source of dappled light. Remember that even if the situation is ideal, not every person walking down the street will make an interesting subject. It’s often a game of patience…
©Valérie Jardin
As long as you protect your gear (and yourself), rainy days can provide some of the best street photography opportunities. People on the streets will behave very differently when it’s raining, creating some interesting situations. Umbrellas also make for good props. There are also ways to embrace the rain by focussing selectively through windows, car windshields, etc.
©Valérie Jardin
If you enjoy doing street portraits, then the same simple rules that you apply for any other portrait will help you achieve the best result. Once you’ve asked your subject for a portrait, you might as well go the extra step and ask them to move slightly, or even cross the street for the most flattering light. Look for open shade to avoid harsh shadows on their face.
Of course, there are also beautiful photographs of people to be made in the early morning and late evening hours, but always remember that there is no bad light!
©Valérie Jardin
Never use the quality of light as an excuse not to hit the streets. Making any light work in your favor is part of the fun and also the best way to improve your skills and get some cool shots. Have fun!

The post There is No Bad Light for Street Photography by Valerie Jardin appeared first on Digital Photography School.
The quality of light is an important aspect of successful photography – good photographers spend hours chasing the most suitable light for the type of photography they do. That usually means working at the beginning or the end of the day, when the sun is low in the sky and the light has many beautiful qualities.
But what about the middle of the day? Many photographers avoid shooting in direct sunlight in this period, especially in summer, because the light is so hard and strong. You can’t use it for portraits (unless you use flash, which is the subject for another article) or find a place in the shade for your model. It’s nearly impossible to use it for landscapes, because they always look so much better in the softer light, characteristic of the the day’s end.
Perhaps the problem is not so much bad light, but a poor match of light to subject. So the question becomes, is there a subject that you can successfully shoot in strong, midday light? I believe there is. I like to use this part of the day for photographing a subject comprised of strong lines and graphic shapes – architecture.
Two photos of the same structure (Monument to the People’s Heroes in Shanghai) taken moments apart. In both cases I was exploring the shape of the structure against the blue sky, shooting with a wide-angle lens from ground level looking up. The first image concentrates on shape and line. The second is more abstract. I used a polarizing filter to darken the sky, and photographed the sunlit monument against it for maximum tonal contrast.
This may seem a little strange because buildings are often best photographed during the golden hour, but there is no reason why you can’t shoot during the middle of the day as well. The only drawback is that colour photos of buildings taken at this time of the day, often with a deep blue sky in the background, are usually not very exciting.
But switch to black and white photography and it’s a different story. Without colour, and the strong distraction of a deep blue sky, the photographic possibilities change entirely. Suddenly you’re not looking at the colour of a scene. Instead you’re exploring line, shape, texture, form and shadow. Then, take those photos into Lightroom and there’s all kinds of wonderful, creative things you can do in post-processing to enhance the image.
Details like this sculpture can work very well in midday light as the hard shadows suit the material it is constructed from. I enhanced the black and white version of this photo in Lightroom by using an Adjustment Brush to increase Clarity and Contrast on the metal surfaces in the image.
Learning to see in black and white takes time, but there are a couple of things you can do that will help.
The first is to shoot in your camera’s black and white mode, but with image quality set to Raw. When you play back your image on the camera’s LCD screen it is displayed in black and white, yet because you are using Raw you have the full colour file to work with in Lightroom or Photoshop.
You will probably find it useful to spend some time looking at your photos on the camera’s LCD screen during the shoot to see how the colour scene in front of you translates to monochrome. As you gain experience you will need to do this less and less, but it can be incredibly helpful the first few times you try.
If you have a camera with an electronic viewfinder, the camera displays the scene in black and white in the viewfinder. This is even more useful because you don’t have to visualize how the colours in the scene will convert to black and white. The camera does it for you and you can concentrate on creating beautiful compositions.
The second is to use a polarizing filter to turn the already blue sky an even darker shade of blue. This can look fantastic in black and white. If you enable the red filter setting in the camera’s black and white mode options it will make the blue sky darker yet, and it may even turn black. Position a sunlit, light-toned, building in front of that dark sky and you have some amazing tonal contrast and the basis for a dramatic black and white architectural study.
It is easy to be seduced by colour, especially when presented by colour buildings such as these ones in Burano, Italy. This photo was taken around midday, but because the sun was overheard it cast a raking light over the front surface of the buildings, bringing out the textures in the wall. I increased Clarity in Lightroom to emphasize the texture in the black and white conversion.
I’ve concentrated on photographing buildings in this article, but I’d like to hear what other subjects you shoot during the middle of the day. Please let us know in the comments.
This photo, also taken in Burano, is a study of the shape of the house against the deep blue sky (emphasized by a polarizing filter). The symmetry of the house is broken by the chimney on the left.

“Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.” – Dalai Lama
Often times we feel a desire to start from scratch and achieve something remarkable. As spring is approaching, use this time of increased motivation to think about your goals as a photographer.
By Jan Michael Ihl
Over a decade ago, The Dalai Lama shared with the world a set of simple guidelines to help you live a complete and meaningful life. In this article we look at 11 of those rules of living from a photographer’s perspective. Whenever you decide to take your time and set your priorities, read the advice of the world’s greatest wise man and project it on your own career and life activities.
Quitting your day job to start a photography business is a risky step accompanied by doubts and fear of failure. But if you’re firm about becoming a successful photographer, you just need to step out of your comfort zone. The ride to success will probably be harsh, but on the other hand, it will be fun! Just listen to your inner superhero and try to enjoy the very process of taking risk.
This advice isn’t as difficult to follow as you may think. These days blogging is a great way for people to spread their knowledge and exchange ideas. Being an active member on a photography forum, or supporting a photography related project (for instance, Defrozo calls all photographers to help them build the ultimate photography marketing platform) are also good opportunities for any photographer to do good for the community. After all, what goes around comes around.
By MD. Hasibul Haque Sakib
Screwed up a photo shoot? That’s not a reason for giving up, as failing can teach you so much more than success. Analyze your missteps, do your best to fix them, and prepare more carefully next time. Yes, that mistake can leave a bitter aftertaste for a long time, but after all, you would never feel good without feeling bad.
Respect for self ensures determination, which is crucial to success. For instance, if you set your prices too low, people may think you’re not confident about your professionalism and thus, would not commit capturing their memories to you.
Even if you’re not sharing the values and interests of people you work with, there must be something they can teach you, respect that.
Even if you’re a solopreneur, being responsible and respectful is essential for running a successful photography business.
I have a friend who couldn’t afford a Canon 5D MarkII a few years ago, which pushed him to seek other ways to reach the image he envisioned. As a result, he improved his skills drastically and even won a prestigious photography contest. He now owns a studio now and his business is growing fast. My friend is pretty sure he wouldn’t have reached this point if he had bought that camera and let it do the job for him. The moral of this story is that something you consider a lost opportunity may in reality be a chance to win. Just stay positive and keep your eyes wide open.
By Umberto Salvagnin
Did you know that Picasso mastered the illusion of volume just to learn how to flatten it in his paintings? Like with any art, in photography any rule can be broken – as long as it’s broken intentionally. If you’re looking for an innovative approach and want to go out of the box with your composition and lighting, you have to know where the box’s limits are.
Everyone could make a mistake, but not anyone could immediately react and correct it. It’s all about taking responsibility for your own actions. If the final photos don’t meet the expectations of your customer and you know it’s your fault, do something to fix it and do it fast. A free compensatory session or a small sorry gift can help you own the situation. Quick reaction will speak of your integrity – it won’t be left unnoticed.
I’m sure you know how it feels when creative ideas flow out of you like a stream. I think you can also remember the tough periods of creative block when it seems you’re unable to produce anything new or interesting. Every creative experiences these ebbs and flows of inspiration. Some solitude during your day can be a great practice to help you stay balanced and productive.

Seeing new places and faces, discovering new cultures and atmospheres is extremely important for any photographer. So do your best to not get stuck in the routine, and go to a new destination at least once a year, even if it’s a small village not far from your habitat.
Success is always about making sacrifices and compromises. However, it’s up to you to decide how much to give up on the way to it. Your own photography business will require you to be a wearer of many hats, it will also soak up tons of your time and energy. But if it pushes you to compromise your loved ones or life values, stop and think whether it will be a success at all if it’s achieved this way.
Change is an essential part of any business, especially when you work in the creative field. Embrace new technologies and don’t miss an opportunity to boost up your marketing, but don’t betray your values as they are the first to speak of your personality and brand.
By Nick Kenrick
The Dalai Lama’s rules of living are not novelties, it’s something we’ve all heard at least once during a lifetime. However, we often forget or fail to apply these laws in our daily routine.

What images pop into your mind when you think of spring? Baby birds, leaves forming on the trees, the last puddles of snow melting, the bees coming to visit the new flowers?
Whatever spring means to you it’s time to get out there and photography it. Your challenge this week is to get off the couch, get outside and see where new life is happening. If there is still snow where you live perhaps a visit to a local greenhouse will inspire you. Here are a few more spring images to get you thinking:

The post Weekly Photography Challenge – Spring by Darlene Hildebrandt appeared first on Digital Photography School.
You want to be the best photographer you can. You’re constantly trying to educate yourself, improve, and take your photography to the next level. But how can you take your photography to new heights, and stand out from the crowd?
The secret is thinking big.
If you look at successful individuals outside of photography such as Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson, and Larry Page – what do these leaders have in common? How were they able to leverage their strengths, continuously add value to the world, and become successful at what they do?
In the book “Bold”, author Peter Diamandis shared the three attributes he thought they all had in common:
In this article you will learn how you can better leverage passion, purpose, and curiosity to take your photography to the next level.
Passion is having this fire burning inside yourself — that you would do something (even if it didn’t earn you any money). You are passionate about doing things by which you feel intrinsically motivated (rather than extrinsically).
For example, let’s do a thought experiment – if you were suddenly given one billion dollars, and didn’t have to work another day in your life, what would you do with the rest of your life?
Personally for me, I am insanely passionate about street photography, education, and sharing knowledge. Even before I was able to do street photography workshops full-time to support myself, I was running a blog out of the pure joy of it (in order to help others), while I was working a full-time job.
I assume if you’re reading this article, you are passionate about photography. But what kind of photography really turns you on? Is it street photography? Is it landscape photography? Is it portrait photography? What really gets you up in the morning and calls you to be photographed?
To be frank, passion is something you can’t fake. You either have it, or you don’t. But we all have things we are passionate about, especially when it comes to photography. So don’t ask others what they think would make an interesting photograph, just follow what you are passionate about, and photograph whatever inspires you.
It isn’t enough to simply be passionate about what you do. If you want to be persistent with your work and your art, you need to have a strong sense of purpose. So how can you apply the concept of purpose to your photography?
Well, you’ve got to make photos that aren’t just for yourself, but photos that you hope will influence, move, and change others.
So for example, the reason I am drawn to street photography is because I feel that the images I make are purposeful. The images I make try to explore the human condition — how people feel and interact with the world. I wish to make images that my viewers can empathize with on an emotional level.
Even if you’re not into street photography, let’s say you’re into landscape photography, how do you find landscape photography meaningful? Ansel Adams was passionate about nature, but also felt that he had a purpose to protect and conserve it. So the purpose of his photography was to connect with nature on an almost spiritual level, to show the world how beautiful these national parks were, and how they needed to be protected.
So think to yourself — how are your photographs meaningful to you, and how do they serve a purpose by inspiring others?
At the end of the day, if your photos serve a purpose to make you happy, that is good enough. But then again, you may also wish to make photographs that have a social purpose that will help inspire, influence, and move others.

The sad thing is that when we are children we are infinitely curious, but that curiosity dies off when we are adults. You can be as passionate and purposeful with your photography as you want, but unless you are curious, you won’t continue breaking new ground and evolving as a photographer.
Curiosity is following your intuition, your gut. Curiosity is following whatever you find interesting. Curiosity is like a bottomless pit — the more you feed it, the more curious you become (which in my opinion is a good thing).
So if you currently shoot flowers and are curious to try out street photography — follow your curiosity and check it out. If you currently shoot street photography but want to get into fashion — follow your curiosity and check that out. If you shoot digital and want to try film, ask your parents or your friends for an old film camera and give it a go.
Curiosity is the only thing in life worth following, to keep us alive creatively as artists and visual poets.
I can guarantee you if you follow these three things (passion, purpose, curiosity) — your work will excel. You will continue to make more photographs, they will be meaningful, and your work will become more complex and advanced as time goes on.
The secret to becoming a great photographer comes down to hard work, putting in the time, and making more images that continue to challenge you.
But at the same time, you want to be like a child in following your curiosity and not taking yourself too seriously.
Try to find a mix of hustling hard in photography, and having a good time. Stick with this recipe, you will really become the best photographer you can, and achieve all your dreams.

The post The Magic of Thinking Big in Photography by Eric Kim appeared first on Digital Photography School.
A natural smile – the holy grail of child photography.
A genuine, heartfelt smile is more than just turning up the corners of the mouth. A real smile radiates from your whole face, and particularly for children, is often felt with the whole body. Not only is a forced and fake smile easy to spot in photographs – we know that wearing a fake smile and having it photographed doesn’t feel too good at the time, and it doesn’t feel great for children either.
So while we want to photograph a child’s beautiful smile, we also want them to enjoy the process of being photographed. And as the photographers, we want to have a good time photographing them too.
There is so much to discover with children – all their favourites, their take on issues big and small, how they feel about themselves, their family and this funny old world. Children are cheeky, fun, creative, enthusiastic and curious – they are also clever and can tell when someone is not genuinely interested. So make sure your heart and intention is in the right place.
If your small subject is feeling uncomfortable it will be impossible to garner a sincere smile. Placing emphasis on creating an honest connection with children so they feel at ease will lead to them sharing their best selves – most of the time.
Following are four conversations that I love to have with kids that always result in joyous laughter and real smiles.
Favourite toys and security items are often important for small children. If your subject has a special toy (i.e. “Bunny”), I will use that as part of our conversation.
or alternatively, Buzz Lightyear may be their favourite character.
Closed-ended questions are great for this age group so they don’t have to think too hard and can just nod or shake their head, and smile and giggle along.
Animals are something kids can easily relate to. I like to make the questions silly and fun.
I play around with lots of animals for that last question – if you had a pet giraffe, or caterpillar, or hippopotamus. Choosing animals that are not usual pets.
Conversations about jobs, growing up, and the work their parents do always get good reactions. Your questions can be light-hearted or more serious, depending on the child’s age and personality.
For the more carefree child, I might start with:
For an older, more serious child you can ask things like:
It can be easier for kids if you give them an either/or question rather than just saying, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Asking kids to think of a detailed answer on the spot can be a bit difficult for them.
 |
 |
This is also a really fun conversation topic – particularly for the parents who are listening in.
When photographing children, take your time and enjoy being with them. The time spent before you even pick up your camera is invaluable to gauge their personality – are they outgoing, reserved, tired, hyperactive, shy, giggly? Make intuitive decisions as to which conversation style will work best for each child. This gets easier with experience, so spend as much time with children as you can ,and fun conversations with them will soon become effortless.
