TECHNICAL RESEARCH TASK: Lighting and Exposure

Over the next few weeks, we will be starting to look at manipulating light to create meaningful effects in your work. With that in mind, the following research task is in three parts:

Part 1: 

Using YouTube / Vimeo / Any other online sources, look for tutorials on:

i)  The Exposure Triad/Triangle.  

ii) Lighting Techniques, including:

  • Studio Lighting
  • Natural Lighting
  • Lighting with a single portable light source (LED light panel or Ledzilla). 

Part 2:

When you find one that you find interesting, post the link in the comments section below and include:

i) A quick summary of the content.

ii) A review of why you found it interesting or informative.

NB: Ideally, you should look for a tutorial that you would like to try out yourself.

Part 3:

Look through at least three tutorials posted by other people and leave a comment on their review. 


DEADLINE: THIS IS AN ONGOING TASK, ANY TIME YOU FIND A TUTORIAL ABOUT LIGHTING, ADD A LINK BELOW.

  1. These two videos are an excellent resource for learning about a few fundamental light setups and techniques. They not only demonstrate the results and differences, but also show precisely how and with which light you can set up these techniques.

    When it comes to light, exposure is king. If you want to understand how ISO, aperture and shutter speed work, this video is a must-see. It's not just theory — it's real-world examples of different combinations of the three main functions.
