For a long time, I saw light as just a technical issue. I thought I could fix it later in Lightroom by moving a few sliders. If the light wasn’t good, I would adjust the color, lift the shadows, add contrast, and sharpen the image. That was all I did…

For years, I thought good photography meant hunting for striking subjects — the dramatic building, the unusual face, the postcard landmark. But the images that stayed with me weren't about things at all. They were about light.
