Learned a lot in this video. Biggest takeaways that are new knowledge to me: > objective is to create a 3d world out of a 2d image > we want alternating patters of light and dark > backlighting helps achieve the above > set exposure for the sky and not your subject because we can't control brightness of the sky but we can control that for our subject Thank you so much for these tips!

The biggest thing you’ve taught me about lighting is motivation, motivation, motivation, motivation, motivation. I’ve picked up a lot of lighting “rules” over the years, but I wish I learned this sooner. All these scenes were lit based on what was already in the shot. I’ve never seen you add a light just for the sake of adding a light. I love the intentionality behind that.

This is an awesome video Danny. I like how you explain the lighting depth you are looking for. A lot of people say you want depth in a scene and don't explain or show what it is. One thing that I had to really think about is at 5:45 when you say the scene is ugly. I understood that you were saying the scene didn't have depth (the light, dark, light, dark) pattern. But the images in this video are beautiful; the exposure, the colors, the skin tones, shadow details. This makes me want to get a Canon camera, and of course I need to gain the skills to produce such beautiful images. Anyway this is a great lesson in lighting.
