Chasing light in Arcadia, California. February 2022.
Things I wished I knew earlier…
“When shooting, photographer Sean Tucker exposes for the highlights. This choice he makes to preserve highlights when capturing an image means that often, parts of his image are pushed far to the left on a histogram. There’s a give and take in photography. If you protect your highlights, you’re also going to need to embrace your shadows. This means that you may need to learn how to utilize shadows in a different way when composing your images. As Tucker demonstrates through his work, the shadows can become important parts of your images and it’s not always the case that you need to recover shadow detail to make an image better.”

Keep learning. And shooting!
