I wish I could control the sun. But I can\u2019t, so why do I dwell on it so often?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because although I cannot control the sun, I can use the light to my favour – I\u2019ve dedicated years to learning light, to finding my groove with it, to pushing the limits of what I know and what I think I know. To me, lighting isn\u2019t just an aspect to photography – it\u2019s one of the subjects. The hard and fast rules are just ASKING to be broken. I\u2019ll chase the light forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
