Part of: The Enlightened Image

In his book Chasing the Light: Improving Your Photography with Available Light , author Ibarionex Perello of the Candid Frame podcast taught you how to create evocative images using natural light, now, in Chasing the Light: Photography and the Practice of Seeing , he will show you how to do it as he and fellow photographer, Jeffery Saddoris of the Faded and Blurred podcast take to the streets of Los Angeles to take on street photography using just natural light.

 Chasing The Light: Photography And The Practice Of Seeing

Chasing The Light takes a look into Ibarionex Perello's approach to seeing and using the available light that is at his disposal. It will take you on a visual journey that has the instructor not only showing you his approach to creating great street photography, but teaching you how you can develop your own way of seeing the world around you. This video is divded into 11 chapters and is 1hour and 52 minutes long.

Lesson 1, "Introductions (3:58 min)," starts off with an introduction by the instructor of both himself and his shooting partner for the day and it is here where they discuss some of the basics of the general settings that he uses while walking the streets so that he is ready when there is something to shoot as well as what his goals are for this video.

Lesson 2, "Getting Warmed Up (10:29 min)," is about getting a feel for what it is that you are wanting to accomplish, getting over the initial anxieties when you first go out, and scoping out an area that you want to explore for your photography.

Lesson 3, "The Approach (10:23 min)," looks at how to approach people that you want to photograph to not only make the process less stressful, but to make sure that you get a good shot. You need to be able to read how the person will react as well as can you engage the person or will there be difficulties such as language barriers. You also have to be aware of the surroundings to make sure you get that better image.
