Original subtitles

This chapter is about the topic light.

Yes, light is basically the most important thing

to take a photo.

Of course, there are several things that affect

a beautiful photo, but light is the most

important one.

Because without light, no photo.

For us, beautiful light is always more important

than a beautiful location.

If we are looking for a location for

a wedding shooting or a couple shooting, the

light is always our top priority.

Yes, even if we have found a really

spectacular location, but notice that the light is

bad there, we prefer to look for another

location.

In this chapter, we will talk about our

favorite light, but also all the other light

situations we have to deal with on a

wedding day.

Yes, how we handle a different situation, that's

what it's all about now.

Exactly, and also which lens is the best

choice in which light situation.

We'll show you again some photos and start

with the hard light.

Hard light is one of the most difficult

light situations for us.

This is very often the case with summer

weddings, unless you live in England.

Yes, every photographer knows the situations in which

one prays for clouds.

Maybe you already had the situation at an

outdoor wedding.

Yes, if the location is great, great setting,

but the sun burns down.

That's mostly when it's too early in the

day for the wedding.

At weddings, you usually don't have a choice

and you need to deal with the situation

as it is.

Yes, the hard light is usually around noon

until late afternoon.

Yes, just when the sun is at its

highest.

Nevertheless, we always try to photograph the light

slightly from behind, so that the object is

slightly illuminated from the back.

Yes, you can see that very well in

this photo.

Yes, the people are slightly lit from the

back right and thus the faces are in

the shade.

If the light shines into your face from

the front, you always have those hard shadows

under your nose or eyes.

If the people are very far away, then

that's not so bad.

But in this picture, for example, that would

be not nice.

At weddings, for example, it is especially hard

when the bride is standing in the blazing

sunshine with her white dress.

Yes, this makes the dress extremely bright and

it will be difficult to properly expose the

photo, so it looks nice in the end

as well.

We are generally not a fan of taking

portraits in hard light.

If we as photographers have a choice, then

of course we choose a soft light.

Yes, we'll come to that later.

In this photo, for example, there was actually

hard light, but there were a few light

-scarce clouds, therefore the photo does not seem

too bright.

But when you look at the shadow on

the crown, then you can see that the

sun was still very strong.

The good thing is that the dress was

not pure white, but rather peach cream or

something like this.

Yes, this looks very nice even in hard

light.

It was already late afternoon in this photo

and the sun was already a bit lower.

Nevertheless, the light is still very strong as

you can see from the hard edges on

her hair.

In addition, the photo has extremely high contrast

and everything seems a bit restless.

For example, the hedge on the left in

the picture.

Take a look at this photo because we

show you what the same lighting situation looks

like when you break the light on something.

In the next example, we show you how

to use light that is actually still too

hard for our taste.

The last photo was an engagement shoot in

Mallorca.

The two actually wanted pictures on a cliff.

We knew, however, that the sun was still

too high to take pictures on the cliff

and that's why we first took a few

photos in an old village.

You can see how beautifully you can play

with light and shade.

The two are actually completely in the shade,

only the heads are slightly hit by the

sun.

In addition, you can nicely see the course

of the shade and the light irradiation.

That somehow gives the picture something magical.

The picture also lives on the shadows cast

by the narrow streets in the background.

If everything was bright, that would not look

so nice.

The right photo is Simlia.

That was in the streets of Marrakesh.

Here we put the couple specifically into the

light cone.

And of course you have to take care

that you then expose accordingly so that the

dress does not get too bright.

There we prefer to take a slightly darker

picture so that nothing in the picture is

overexposed.

The next example is of a wedding.

When we need to do portraits at a

wedding in the harsh light, we are always

looking for a place in the shade.

We have this situation very often because we

actually always split the shoot.

Simply so that in the evening the couple

is not away from the guests for too

long.

In this case we also started in the

shade and around the little tree in the

background.

But the two moved a lot and it

was impossible for them to stay in the

shade.

And then we just continued shooting in the

hard light.

That is how this photo came about.

For sure this is not the most beautiful

light but a very nice moment.

Also in the right picture you can see

that despite the hard light we photographed the

people so that they are illuminated slightly from

behind.

Next we come to the broken light.

We often have the situation when the sun

is still shining brightly from behind.

Then we often look for an object on

which we let the light break.

Remember the picture of the bride who walked

up the street.

That is the same lighting situation and time.

In this case the light is broken by

the trees.

This makes the light much softer.

A short story about the picture.

That was on an allotment in Mallorca.

And the two of them said to us

at the Getting Ready that they like to

rely on us when choosing the location for

the wedding ceremony.

But they would like to have something with

a great view like on the photos on

our Instagram.

And we then told them that we would

recommend to look for a place in the

shade at this time of the day.

Simply for the reason that it is much

more pleasant and they should enjoy their wedding.

At this time of the day it would

not have been possible to take a nice

photo with a great view because the light

was still too hard.

Yes, so we explained to the two of

them that we'll be taking pictures with a

great view at the sunset session anyway.

Chris then looked for this nice quiet place

between the olive trees.

And this was the ideal place for the

wedding ceremony.

As a result the two could enjoy their

wedding much better because they did not have

to stand in the blazing heat.

It was also super romantic between the olive

trees.

And later we shot pictures in the right

light with a nice view.

Here are two more pictures of the olive

grove.

The two could really enjoy the wedding.

The location could be captured particularly beautifully with

the 85mm lens.

We knew already at the wedding that the

pictures with the 85mm lens would turn out

great.

We had a lot of space to take

full body pictures of the two.

This allowed the background to become very soft

and the light to be captured beautifully.

So if you have to shoot at a

time when the sun is still very high

then always look for a place where you

can break the light.

Also here we started the shoot when the

sun was still a bit higher.

The plan was actually to just do a

session on the beach.

If you take pictures on the beach especially

on the west coast like here in Portugal

then you always have the situation that the

sun sets directly on the sea.

This always gives you very strong light because

the sun does not break anywhere.

That's why we mostly take pictures on the

beach just right before sunset.

Otherwise the sun is simply too strong.

That's why we just started with some photos

between the trees before we went to the

beach.

In the next picture Chris influenced the light.

That was a wedding and the wedding was

in a greenhouse.

The sun was very high.

Shown directly from above through the glass, right?

There was the possibility to completely pull the

curtains on the ceiling.

That's what we ended up doing.

At the top of the picture you can

easily see the curtain.

By pulling the curtain the light is probed

and it looks like a big sun sail.

Here you can see that the groom still

has slight shadows under his eyes.

Without this curtain it would have become terrible.

We would have been annoyed afterwards.

Of course the bridal couple does not even

notice that kind of stuff.

You just have to design it so that

you can work well and your results become

beautiful.

Sometimes we also move the bridal couple's chairs

before the wedding so they sit in a

better light.

Just get involved in the action.

Here's another example of broken light at a

wedding ceremony.

The sun was still very high and it's

nicely broken by the tree.

At the right at a couple shoot.

Also here we look for a place between

the trees to have some shade because the

sun was still very high.

The next lighting situation that we are talking

about is shade or cloudy.

Simply no more direct sunlight.

In the first picture we just waited until

the car was in the shade because the

two wanted a picture in the car.

This picture and the next two were in

the same place.

The pictures are from the getting ready for

a wedding on Mallorca.

The finger was actually very modern inside and

we prefer it a bit more rustic.

We picked this place for the women's getting

ready.

This was a covered part of the terrace

which was open to the front.

I've seen that the light comes in really

nice like spots from the front and also

the rustic look was very nice.

That's why we did the getting ready there.

We built the chair there and the beauty

was everything was neat there.

Of course in the rooms it was not

so clean in the background.

Again you can see that you can definitely

intervene and stay where the best place for

getting ready is.

The next photo is from a wedding at

Lake Praes.

Maybe you know this spot but you should

know that this is a very touristic spot.

In summer it is completely overcrowded with tourists.

These two came with all their families and

friends from Australia to marry there.

We advised the couple and the wedding planner

not to start the wedding until the sun

disappeared behind the mountains.

Unfortunately they did not want to listen to

us and the wedding took place in the

blazing sun.

This picture was taken after the sun was

behind the mountain and the lake was in

the shade.

Because at a lake it is always difficult

to take pictures when the sun reflects on

it.

We always check the course of the sun

in advance with the Sunseeker app.

This allows us to see very well when

the sun disappears behind the mountains and when

we have a nice natural shade.

Because in the shade without direct sunlight one

can very nicely depict people together with a

location.

Because then everything is lit evenly.

The next photo was taken in the shade.

The nice thing is that the opposite wall

is reflecting some light that you can always

use very nicely if you look before whether

the light is reflected somewhere.

The next two photos are also taken in

the shade.

Especially at photo shoots in the city you

often have, due to the streets, early shadows.

These pictures are from November so the sun

was not very high here either.

That's why we had shadows earlier on.

Nevertheless you always have direction from which the

brightness comes.

In this case the brightness came from the

front on the couple.

It was cloudy in this photo.

Nevertheless the brightness comes from one direction, namely

from the left front.

To the right of the two there was

a dark rock wall.

So even in cloudy weather there is always

a direction from which more brightness comes.

You have to pay attention to this and

it is best to check beforehand where the

light comes from and then take photos in

the right direction.

Often you can explain that logically.

In these two examples the sun was still

very high.

The last picture is a first look situation

on the wedding day.

That was around noon in very hot light.

Of course we took pictures all the time

while the bride was walking down the path.

But it was clear to us that the

best pictures were likely to be taken when

the bride stepped into the shade.

Yes, that's exactly how it turned out.

We already positioned the groom in the shade

from the outset.

As a result we had equal light when

they met and could photograph in all directions.

Also in the picture on the right we

placed the couple in the shade of the

tree.

Below you can see that some light falls

on the dress while the heads are up

in the shade.

When the sun is still very high we

usually look for such a shady area.

Also in the next photo the couple is

standing in the shade of the tree.

That was about one and a half hour

before sunset.

Later we took pictures on the coast at

sunset.

In this case the shade was the right

choice.

From the front the crown reflected some light

in the faces of the two.

The good thing is that the crown was

not too green.

Otherwise it would have had a negative effect

on the skin tones.

If you place your couple in the shade

then you have to be careful that the

background does not overexpose you.

In this case we specifically chose the mountainous

background.

So the background was not too bright.

This gives the photo a bit more contrast.

So if you choose to position the couple

in the shade there should still be enough

light from the front to lighten up the

couple.

And in the background it should not be

too bright.

Also for the deco pictures as for example

the table setting here we always wait for

shade.

This can be a cloud for example.

Ideally we will only take the pictures when

the sun such as here disappears behind the

tree and the house.

So do not go crazy from the beginning

but wait for the right time for the

deco pictures.

Because also here the light is crucial.

For example we have discussed this with the

wedding planner.

She then told us shortly before she opened

the dinner area.

Sometimes we play it safe and take some

pictures in the afternoon already.

And later in the ideal light we do

it again.

It is also important that you do this

before the guests hang their jackets over the

chairs.

At this wedding there was constant change all

day between clouds and sun.

Luckily we had clouds during the wedding ceremony.

That was ideal because otherwise the bridal couple

would have had a light from the front

in their faces all the time.

Yes, shade was perfect and we did not

have any problems with the post-production.

For the next picture there was also a

change between clouds and sun during the shoot.

Whenever the sun shone the gravel bed was

far too bright for our taste.

So we knew we had to wait for

a cloud to get the ideal result.

Also for these two photos it was cloudy.

In the left photo it was only a

thin cloudy veil.

Therefore the couple still gets nice soft light

through the cloud.

You can see that on their hair and

the soft light gives them very beautiful silhouette.

In the right photo the lighting mood was

rather gloomy.

So a dark cloud layer.

Nevertheless the light comes slightly from behind as

you can see on his shoulder.

Also in this photo, one of our favorite

pictures, it was cloudy.

Had the sun shone the picture would never

have been so beautiful.

The wedding was in the afternoon and on

their way out the sun would have been

right in their faces from the front.

Yes, it was just such a typical situation

where as a photographer you pray for clouds.

Of course there is always some luck involved.

Yes, and in this situation it turned out

great.

You noticed already we are indeed fans of

clouds.

The next light situation we are looking at

together is window light indoor.

The photo is only photographed with natural light.

In general we always work without flash.

Except at the party in the evening.

So here we turned off all the lights

in the room and worked only with window

light.

We always have this lighting situation at the

getting ready.

When we started photographing weddings we often forgot

to turn off the lights during the getting

ready.

Especially bad are these small spotlights that are

often installed in the ceiling.

This light often makes very bad skin tones

or drops shadows under the eyes.

In addition this mixed light is very difficult

for post production.

Mixed light means that different light temperatures and

light colors are mixed.

For example cold window light with warm artificial

light.

Therefore you should always switch off all artificial

light sources at the getting ready or at

indoor shootings.

Sometimes it's nice when there are some small

sources of light in the background.

The pictures we show you now are all

photographed without artificial light.

So back to this photo.

We had windows from the front as well

as from the back.

That was of course idle for the picture.

Also here we can see quite well that

we had windows lights from the right.

Of course the light behaves differently depending on

the distance to the light source.

The closer you are to the window the

brighter the foreground.

You can see that in the picture below

on the right side.

Also at the bright getting ready we had

nice window light from the front.

That's just the idle case.

We usually take pictures in such a way

that the light falls on the person from

the front.

Of course you can shoot against the light

but we rarely do that.

We prefer to photograph the light from the

front because the picture is clearer then.

For the bright we like it when the

light from the front is a bit softer.

For example if there is still a white

curtain hanging in the front of the window

this makes the light softer.

For the groom we also like hard light

very much.

You can pull the curtain closed a bit

so that the light source is still smaller

and as a result the light even more

bundled.

The room becomes also darker and you get

more contrast in the picture.

Here for example the groom is directly in

front of the window.

We especially like this look for men.

We would rather place women a little further

away from the window.

Also for detailed pictures like in the picture

on the right here we like hard light

and play with the light and shade.

In addition you can thereby completely blank out

a room that is perhaps not so nice

in color.

By putting the person in the light the

background will be shown darker.

Here too in this picture the groom is

full focused because he is placed directly in

the light of the window.

On the left in the picture I pulled

the curtain slightly.

This is just a very nice portrait light

for men.

Also in the next example we have a

window light indoor.

Here the light comes from right and left.

Of course you have to be careful that

you place the couple in such a way

that they also get some light from the

front.

In this case we have put her pretty

far back so that still some light falls

on her face from the front.

In addition the white bed sheet reflects some

light from the front onto their faces.

The next light situation is the artificial light.

Of course this light can really cause you

a lot of trouble in post-processing.

If you have only artificial light in the

photo then that's great.

Especially if all lights have the same color

and light temperature.

For example in this picture it was easy

to process.

You simply had to adjust the white balance.

Of course it is most beautiful when the

artificial light is soft as in this case.

We always give our bright colorative to rather

choose many soft light sources than a few

hard spotlights.

Besides we are not friends of colorful lights

in the evening.

In these two photos we again have the

fairy lights as a source of light.

These fairy lights are our favorite artificial light

anyway.

You just have so many sources of light

and especially if there are fairy lights with

real bulbs the light color is really nice.

For example there are more modern fairy lights

with LED bulbs.

However the color of the LED light is

not so nice and warm.

For these two photos fairy lights were the

only source of light.

You can also see that we already had

a pretty high ISO in both pictures.

On the left it's 1600 and on the

right 2500.

Also for the next photo we only worked

with available light.

Here we actually worked the whole evening with

an ISO 4000 to 6400.

By capturing the room light so beautifully the

picture gets a very nice atmosphere.

One would not have been able to capture

this mood so beautiful with a flash.

Here again a picture with the fairy lights.

In this picture it is a mix of

fairy lights and sparklers.

The colors of the different light sources harmonize

very well in this case.

The beauty of the picture is that the

faces are slightly shaded and the light comes

from behind.

In this picture is also a string of

lights hanging in the middle of the table.

The dinner took place outdoors and it was

dark around.

This gives the faces a lot of light

from the front and from behind the people

are dark.

The light makes a very nice atmosphere and

it was easy to take pictures.

We photographed here with ISO 3200.

In the evening we always take pictures with

the aperture open.

This keeps image noise low and gives us

optimal quality.

Now we come to the next light situation,

sunrise and sunset.

Both light situations have a very low position

of the sun.

As a result the light comes from a

very shallow angle.

This photo is a sunrise.

We photographed the photo with backlight.

The lower the sun is the weaker it

is.

Nevertheless, of course, it still has a certain

strength.

And we always like it when there is

still something between the couple and the sun,

which gives depth to the photo.

We always pay attention so that during the

location search.

In this example you can see that the

landscape gives the picture a nice color contrast.

In addition the light breaks somewhat on the

mountains and you can see the light beams

very beautiful.

This picture was taken with a 2.5

aperture.

This leaves the background a bit higher in

the contrast.

Especially with backlight photos there is a risk

that the deep color channels will be lost

a bit.

Especially if you work with an open aperture.

This photo is a sunset.

Here we have not placed the sun exactly

behind the couple, but it comes from slightly

to the right rear.

In general we are not fans of the

blatant backlight.

Here we find it nice that the sun

is still in the picture.

The couple is illuminated slightly from the side

and thus gets a very nice edge from

the light.

Again, this is a sunset.

Depending on which lens you use, the light

breaks differently.

We have already talked about it when we

spoke about lenses.

In the left photo the light comes from

the left behind.

In the right picture it is actually right

from the side.

In both pictures we have made sure that

there is still something in the background, which

gives the picture a bit of depth.

In the next picture we also have side

light from the right.

For sunrise and sunset the following applies.

The lower the sun is, the better you

can capture the people together with the location.

This is simply not possible at any other

time of the day.

So you can remember.

If you want to photograph people together with

nature, then you have to wait for the

right light.

Balanced light is important here.

The same is true even if you photograph

landscapes without people.

That too looks best at sunset and sunrise.

Landscape photographers spend their night in the mountains

and then take their pictures at sunrise.

This is a sunset in the mountains.

That was about 15 minutes before sunset.

In the mountains you rarely have a direct

sunset, unless you are at the top of

the summit.

Here the light comes from the left, as

you can see, from the rays on the

upper left.

We also wanted to shoot in the other

direction, to the right.

However, we still had to wait a bit,

because in the mountains you often have the

problem that the peaks are still illuminated for

a very long time.

Due to the fact that the people are

already in the shade, it can happen that

then the illuminated peaks are too bright in

the background.

We always wait until the sun is completely

gone.

These two photos are also a sunset.

In both pictures the sun has just disappeared

behind a hill.

This gives a very soft, warm light on

the people.

The left picture shows the light from the

left, the right one from the right behind.

We especially like this soft light.

Here are again two pictures of a sunset.

You notice there are more sunset photos than

sunrise photos.

If you compare the pictures, then you will

see that the right picture looks much brighter.

This is partly due to the location choice.

In the left picture the horizon runs further

up in the picture.

As a result, we have less sky than

in the right picture.

In the right picture the people are standing

directly on a cliff.

In the left picture we still have a

lot of landscape and depth in the picture.

We personally like it in the left picture

better, because it has more depth and looks

a bit richer.

Also in our next picture we again have

the situation that the sun has just set.

As a result we again have this very

soft light from behind on the people.

Our next photo here is a sunset directly

at the sea that was in Portugal and

thus the west coast.

To be able to photograph properly with backlight

we always wait until the sun is very

low.

Before that it's just too bright as far

as the reflection on the water is concerned.

Then it's almost impossible to photograph with backlight.

The next picture was also in the evening.

That was about 30 minutes before sunset, so

the light is a bit harder.

Again we have photographed so that the sun

comes from the right side.

So that's it for sunset and sunrise.

And now we come to the light that

is either right before sunrise or right after

sunset.

This light is our absolute favorite light besides

sunset and sunrise.

We call this light after light.

The time of the day when there is

this light is also called blue hour.

One could also say dawn or dusk.

As I said we love to take pictures

in this light and it's always exciting because

it's a race against the time.

Depending on how clear the sky is you

always have particularly impressive colors in the sky

during this time.

This light gives the photo a special depth.

Of course it always also depends on from

which direction you photograph the light.

We never photograph this light as a backlight

but either sideways or from the front.

At sunset we shoot with backlight and when

the sun is gone we can turn around

the complete set and take a picture in

the other direction.

This gives the picture a very special look.

We are often asked how we achieve the

beautiful colors in editing.

The basic requirement for beautiful colors is always

the light you work with.

If the picture is taken in bad light

you cannot save it with good editing anymore.

And that is why light is the most

important thing for us and comes first.

It is worthwhile then if you work on

this topic a bit.

Of course you always need some luck as

well because the light behaves differently depending on

whether it is cloudy or very clear.

In addition the sunset also has different colors

depending on the season.

Yeah, sometimes for example it's way too red

after sunset.

Then it will also be difficult in the

post-production.

In our first example the light comes slightly

from the front on the faces.

You can see it in his face.

When we shoot at afterlight we always work

with a high ISO value.

You cannot photograph this light with an ISO

100 or 200.

The period of time during which you can

shoot is very short.

It then gets dark extremely fast and you

have to be careful to regularly turn up

the ISO.

In the afterlight you can also take especially

good pictures of people with a spectacular scenery

in nature.

This is again due to a balanced lighting

on both the landscape and the people.

It is similar to the sunset or in

the shade.

However the colors are even richer and fuller.

This photo is one of our absolute favorite

pictures.

The photo was also taken during afterlight.

It was on the top of a mountain

in Austria at minus 25 degrees Celsius.

We had checked before when the last gondolas

went down.

There were only a few days of the

year when it was possible to stay on

the mountain long enough to photograph during afterlight.

The last gondola even had to wait for

us because we did not want to stop

taking pictures in the best light.

They had been ringing the bell all the

time until we finally ran fast to the

summit station.

That was really an unforgettable experience.

It was also a test of endurance of

the cameras.

Which in the end only worked very slowly

still.

Also for us it was a test of

endurance.

Chris could not continue to take pictures after

10 minutes because his fingers were frozen to

the camera.

I had black fingernails for two weeks afterwards.

But it was worth it.

For the next picture here it was a

bit brighter still as you can see at

the ISO.

The colors were already very nice as you

can see from the sky in the background.

The beautiful colors in the sky are also

a special feature of this light atmosphere.

We then continued to photograph for a bit

longer and in the end we were at

ISO 2500 or so.

Also in the next photo you can see

we took pictures with ISO 1000.

The pictures simply have much deeper colors than

the pictures with sun.

Our next picture was taken in the early

morning.

So to speak blue hour in the morning

just before sunrise.

It was really the best time to take

pictures in the desert.

As a result the colors are just beautiful.

The sand has a very rich color and

in the sky you can still see the

dawn.

Later we took pictures with the sun but

that was just not comparable.

The only downside is that it's really freezing

cold in the desert at night.

Since we wanted to take pictures before sunrise

already we practically started out in complete darkness.

The two were barefoot and they almost froze

their feet.

The next picture is again after light so

it was taken after sunset.

That was the most spectacular blue hour we've

ever seen and we've ever photographed.

We have never seen such stark colors in

the sky.

The sky was really blue.

It looks almost unreal.

We have never seen such beautiful colors in

nature as during our trip through Morocco.

The sky was crystal clear and therefore the

colors were so beautiful.

At night you could also see the stars

incredibly beautifully.

Our guide Dan explained how to photograph the

Milky Way.

It was a dream.

The light comes here again from the front

onto the faces.

Here is another example of the same shoot.

For the left photo it was a bit

lighter.

You can see that in the ISO and

exposure time.

The sun was already gone however.

The right photo was taken about 10 minutes

later.

We wanted to do the same picture again

in a different light because the light was

much more spotted then.

The colors in the pictures on the right

are much deeper because it was already dark.

You can also see that we were already

at the ISO 1250 and aperture 1.6.

For the next picture it was still quite

bright.

As you can see from the exposure time.

It was just before sunset but the sun

was already behind a small layer of clouds.

This already provided the after light look.

We also had this light variation with our

live couple shoot on the beach.

So it looks like after light because of

the thin cloud layer.

In that case you can already work very

nicely with the light from the front.

Also in our next photo the sun was

already gone.

That was an allotment in the stone desert

of Morocco.

The time was perfect for the wedding.

Because during the day it would have been

way too hot.

As you can see from the exposure time

in ISO it was not really dark yet.

Also here we photographed with the light from

the front.

As a result the sky gets very nice

colors.

The haze layer in the background also breaks

the light and gives the picture very nice

colors.

Now we come to our last picture for

the topic of after light and blue hour.

For this photo there is really already twilight.

In April we photographed the allotment of the

two in Mauritius.

They actually wanted to let the balloons fly

on the wedding day.

However it rained at night.

We then suggested to let the balloon fly

at the after wedding shoot.

We knew that the best time was dusk.

For incomplete darkness it would have been impossible

for us to take a nice picture.

At dusk we were able to illuminate the

two idly and you can also see the

sea.

The colors in the pictures are very beautiful

that would not have been possible at night.

In addition the balloons throw a very nice

light on the faces of the two.

This picture is just very special because it

meant so much to both of them.

That's why it's also one of our favorite

pictures.

Because it's very real and it reminds us

of a great experience.

So that was it about light.

So now you know how we classify the

different light situations and how we work with

them.

We hope you have learned a lot from

it and it helps you to get even

better results in the future.

We wish you always good light.
