Reading Light on the Street: What Studio Photographers Can Learn from Joshua K. Jackson
I spend most of my working life with light I can control. Every modifier in my studio has its own strip of masking tape with a name on it. I know exactly what a 1.2-meter octabox at 45 degrees does to a cheekbone. What I can’t always do is read light that’s already happening, fast, without a meter or a sandbag in sight. That gap showed up clearly on a recent editorial job that took me out of the studio for environmental portraits in downtown Los Angeles.
