It all starts with light

Clients look at us a like we are crazy sometimes.  We talk about light as if it was drug that we needed.  I heard someone, say when I was first starting out in photography.  You are not really taking a picture of the people in the photograph you are taking a picture of the light on the subject.  This may be a foreign concept for many clients, but without light you have no shape, texture, or color.  Whats a picture without these things?  Here is my bad sense of humor, everyone looks the same in the dark.   Think of light as the wrapping paper around the subject.  So next time we are rambling on about the light, you will better understand our obsession.
