The most important element for a photographer  is light. Even before composition or background comes light. Often times the background is not that visible, but light makes all the difference. Learning to use light can be the difference between a mediocre photographer and a great one. Whether its capturing that perfect silhouette at dusk, or finding the right light to bring out the eye’s of a beautiful bride, light is the key. It takes knowledge and experience to make the image you see in your head into reality. Often times using light in the right way is the key.
