A teacher once told me the best way to learn photography is to start out in black and white. All the color schemes disappear and the only thing left to focus on is the light and shadows. Excellent advice Roman! Just discovered your account and I've been binging your videos since :) Great content!

I've mostly always shot in bnw the past few months, it seems more lifelike to me for some reason, so much can be conveyed without the distraction of the color

One of the most simple yet informative video i’ve seen explaining light. You’ve done a great job explaining this and I think more people need to understand it

Glad you enjoyed it!

This is possibly one of the best 10 minute videos on photography I have seen. Of course, it's bleedin' obvious when you think about it...but sometimes we (or certainly, I) need the bleedin' obvious pointed out! Thank you Roman!

Same here! Great vid.

"A good photograph is knowing where to stand" - Ansel Adams Not sure if he was necessarily speaking of the light, but I'm guessing that was part of it. As always enjoyed, and I know you guys don't celebrate Thanksgiving... but happy thanksgiving anyway!

thank you Judy! likewise I hope you had a good one

I really like the way you explained everything without coming off super arrogant/egotistical like some of these other photography youtubers

which ones are you talking about specifically?

This has got to be one of the most simple yet eye opening photography videos I've watched. Thanks so much for sharing, your shots look absolutely amazing 😍

Such an underrated channel. Great job Roman!

The way you present things is the best. I've watched all the "mainstream" photographers on YT and they couldn't explain this particular topic to me. All of the had at least one tut video on this subject. Good job dude.

This video is a game changer! Thank you!

Excellent video Roman. I guess that puts to bed the old adage "never shoot a picture into the sun". I really like the advice from photographer Bryan Petersen. - All photographs are just contrast. I have tried to use this and look for contrasting light or color to bring out my subject. I like your practical tips a lot. Thanks for sharing 😃

Looking at my old photos and I couldn't understand what made some images stand out more than others. A true aha moment today!

Photography... write with light.... So yes, I agree that lighting's the most important thing of photography. Excellent video!

I am SO glad I found your channel!!! Such clear and actionable advice, I genuinely feel smarter now than when I walked into this video! Thank you!!

Thank you so much, Roman! I'm a beginner in photography, and I need to literally teach my class about it for an assignment! I've been into it for about 2 years, but because I'm in middle school, I haven't had much time, or the camera... until now from my mother, because she used to be a photographer. You helped so much!

This is absolutely amazing. Since I've been following your photography I started noticing how light can actually help frame a subject and bring a boring composition to life. Great stuff as always Roman! Thank you.

Making photography since 8 years. And u teached me now so much new in ten minutes! Great video and thank u!

Very well said with clear examples! I often close one eye to flatten 3D scenes when looking about.

Thank you! This really helps so much. I guess, I’ve always been drawn to capture images with a certain tonal quality but never quite understood what it was that made them that way. It was normally dumb luck when I came across scenes that looked appealing. This kind of puts the power back in my hands to make the images happen rather than stumble upon them

I’ve learned more from this video than I’ve learned at University in the past three months.

Hey Roman, Love your work your understanding of light creating depth within photographs is awesome! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

This subject can be brought up over and over again :) Always relevant, yet usually neglected. Thank you Roman, as always!

Thank you Roman for this short yet important video! Great examples too. Love your work.

Thanks for the video. It's fantastic thumbnail ❤.

Best video on your channel!

Excellent video, loved the part on colour contrast. Kudos.

As an amateur who's just getting into photography, this succinct advice about side and back lighting is just what I needed to hear. I'm just in the point of my (street photography) learning journey where I'm beginning to pay attention to light sources. Thanks for the helpful video.

Another wonderful video about making sense of the most important part of photography, light. No hip language, no gimmicks, just plain logic and common sense yet still very interesting and entertaining too. Well done young man. Thanks.

This is the video of the year. Thank you so much for explaining this! It’s going to make mw better.

I agree that you can learn a lot about photography by watching films from experienced teams. Thank you for sharing your experience with us here for free. I appreciate it very much. Without people like you I would never have become such a good hobby photographer.

AHA! 🙂👍 Thank you for this video!

Best video on light that I've seen so far. Thanks Roman!

Awesome video Roman, thank you! I'm actually always so oblivious in regards to light I never even pay attention to where its source is - now the whole way it works is much more clear. Very excited to try this in practice and also the idea of contrasty images looking sharper is such an epiphany tbh.

Many thanks for sharing your knowledge! Looking back at my favourite pictures you are certainly right about the lighting.

So easy, so good. It's like a didacting reduction - should be lesson 1 for everyone; on par w/ the old saying: Follow the light. Thanks for sharing the obvious.

Probably the best, most concise discussion of light with the most impact that I've ever heard. So simple it hurts but stunningly effective. A real 'ah-ha' moment for me!

If these are all your photos that you've showcased... I think you might be the best photographer I've ever checked out, and you are a huge inspiration to my work

I've been looking for a video like this and this is so simply explained and easy to understand. Thank you for this!

I came across Mr. Fox's video by chance and I am glad I did. Roman speaks clearly and the material he presents are well structured and organized. I surely have greatly benefited from learning from him.

What a brilliant and useful video! I’m already thinking my photography is gonna change now! Thanks a lot and keep them videos coming

Absolutely fantastic video. I’ve heard people say that light is the most important thing, but it never clicked, until this video. I’ve been on the hunt for creating the most amount of 3D depth in my photos and your video put the most important piece of the puzzle in for me, in an understandable way!

I'm so thankful towards you.

Fantastic video - your diagnosis at the beginning hit home, and the info you shared is so helpful!

Best explanation I’ve found on this subject. Thanks Roman

I knew of the importance of lighting in principal but it never made real sense until this video. Thankyou!

Spot on Roman! Subscribed. When I can carve out time to do photography I tend to find myself in the forest. And 99% of the keepers are images captured toward the light. Keep up the good work!

This is a gem. Well explained and easy to grab. Nice job.

This is an unbelievably fantastic video. Very simply explained with great examples. Top stuff!

Love your videos Roman. Been watching you for roughly a year now since I first started taking photography more seriously. Interesting, extremely informative and unique compared to a lot of other photography KZreadrs. Also love the simple, slightly minimalistic style (Maybe that's just my interpretation, but I like it). Big fan, will be following your journey for as long as you do KZread. Keep it up!

Excellent explanation, busts a lot of myths on having the light behind you for good photos. Love the lock stock reference quote at the end! DG New Forest UK

Thanks Roman for these tips, it helps a lot. (we never stop learning about photography).

subscribed..lighting is critical so the thumbnail message stood out...great topic to cover

this is gold ❤

like always! Amazing video.. Thank you so much for explaining in details, I've been learning so much from your content. and love the passion you put in your work..

Great video Roman. I will watch more of your photography tutorials from now on. Thank you.

Excellent video Roman 👍

Super interesting and useful video, thank you for sharing 😊

One of the most helpful and informative videos on the subject I've seen in a while

One of the most useful tutorials I've seen. Thank you!

This was a great one 👌🏽 Just have to say I’ve really been enjoying your channel… keep up the great content 🙏👍🏽

I didn't notice this until you pointed this out. Thanks!!!

Focal point can make a difference too, that and or course aperture setting. That's been my experience.

This is so informative. Thanks Roman!

Thank you Roman, this is a great video, it is giving me another element to consider when taking a photo. You have explained it really well too. Cheers

amazing advice brother. thank you!

Perfect delivery. Great video!

really appreciative ...thank you for sharing

The most important video for me, thanks Roman

Such a simple concept, yet, I’ve never actually ran it through my head. Thanks man subbed!

Your most fulfilling video so far Roman! And it feels like very well prepared :)

Interesting bit about the warm colour tone of the low in sky sunlight and the cool tones of the shade, I have seen it but never thought about it as a creative tool.

Excellent video. Well done and concise. I’ve already started to notice light differently

Really good explanation! You're teaching people what matters.

Love this Roman!

thank you! this makes so much more sense now!

Thank you 😊

Great video. Thank you. You have inadvertently challenged me to be more conscious of the light, its quality and its direction.

Epic knowledge. Thx so much

Such a valuable piece of information.

Great video. One of my photographic passions is street photography. I use light all the time and cinematic crops to add drama and life.

Amazing post. Thank you.

Amazing video! Well explained and directed to the point.

Cheers Roman I enjoyed it thanks

Loved this video - really well put together

Practical ans simple tips....the best

More videos about light needed

Excellent!

Thanks again, mate! 📷 As always nice and simple explanation!!

Thanks for the knowledge!!

Very helpful and simply explained. Thanks a lot for this!

Great tips as always!

this video helped me so much.

Love it…and I’m only half way through!

Excellent advice. I always try to think of a 90 degree or equilateral triangle when positioning myself, the subject, and light. It's a good starting point and you can adjust from there.

very interesting indeed and I will try this out asap if I can still remember it after this bottle of wine

Precise and well explained..kudos
