Photography is painting with light. You can't complain as an artist if you have too much paint :)

I don’t think paintings have a lowest iso

Thanks for bringing up some real examples from masterful photographers. I agree that photography shouldn’t be about following a trend, It’s timeless.

And only way to be timeless is to be yourself

I appreciate how you simply keep things real. It’s refreshing.

I know I personally feel robbed anytime I watch KZread video that’s full of fluff, so I try to cut to the chase in my own videos!

"Get off the Instagram". Just that one sentence is worth a like.

That was great! I love all the examples used to drive home the point.

What a great tutorial! This five minutes were so well spent for me. THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge.

Hope it helps ya!!!! Thank you for watching 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Solid advice as usual. Also, one of the things that you constantly teach (maybe even without knowing that you’re doing it) is how to communicate and direct your model. In awe of your work man, great stuff

First photographer/cinematographer I’ve seen to show this. Thank you

Love it. I always thought it was lame that many people will only shoot at golden hour. I never say no to a shoot regardless of where/when. You have to be able to make it work regardless of the conditions. Otherwise you're not really an artist, you're just a person who knows how to follow a formula.

Dude your content is wildly underrated. I appreciate how accessible you make everything. Appreciate you. Keep on keeping on.

Thank you for the kind words brother 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Great advice. I was always afraid of hard sunlight until now.

One of the best short guides to hard light I've seen on KZread. Great practical demonstration and good advice re. look at the iconic photographer's work. Thanks.

I love how you condense so much info into one video! Thanks Cam!

Awesome when I did my degree in fashion / editorial photography my head tutor was a real pain used to complain about harsh shadows like this it got so bad that he would mark your work down if you tried to submit it. Really refreshing to hear someone who knows what they are talking about instead of the fool who taught us all wrong :)

I dig your blunt 'can do' attitude with photography and video. Definitely given me some more inspiration, thanks man!

I think this is the first video ever where I hear the author encouraging us shooting in harsh light (which I also like), so thank you very much for staying true and spreading the word. those examples you presented here are just amazing and should make people shoot at the time of harsh light, too :)

I'm so thankful for finding your page today! I can tell you have a serious knowledge and respect for the traditions of the craft and I'm learning a ton.

You're right on. I'm a long time model, glamour, photographer and have done tons of shooting in what most people would consider lousy light; midday, etc. But using a scrim, and/or reflector or wall etc. as you mentioned, I'm able to get loop and/or Rembrandt lighting and the hard lines accentuate the angles of the face. You have to learn to "see" light. Good work, and good advice particularly to photographers learning lighting, posing and are being told "head for the shade."

I didn't even know I needed this video or information! Thank you, I have a whole new respect for this light now. Something that I've seen in my work and others but never talked about it or heard it talked about until now. You da man!!

Really greate advice! I love photographers like you who share actually useful things on their platforms. Thanks!

love this video very useful and no nonsense and straight to the point.

This video is gold

I have been thinking about this myself lately, and it's serendipity to find your video just when I made that realization so that you can prove it to me even further.

This has to be the best video on how to compose better in sunlight. Thank You So much, i'm just a beginner but i have watched countless videos related to this.

One of the most useful videos that I have seen in a while.

love this perspective, totally agree and I will look into more of non instagram photos for sure, thank you so much for your advice

Such a great video! Love your style

Love the way you explain things. Subscribed.

Hell of a video. Love the energy.

You are the man. Super real and down to earth. You explain things so clearly. Subbed.

Dude, your so honest and helpful, thank you!

Im so happy a video with decent views is going against all of the other youtube videos on lighting. I choose to shoot in harsh light for all of the reasons you pointed out. Great work!

Perfect combination of style and content - super educational. Seriously great video!

Nice demo of how the positioning makes a world of difference!

This has gave me confidence to experiment with lighting, thank you!

great video, about use of a light that i really love. very good examples and explanaitions!

Man this was dope and so helpful! Thank you!!🙏🏼

Great video not seen one on this topic before and learned a lot. Thank you!

Straight up killin it!

Dude, this changed my perspective thanks for sharing.

Love the video and reintroducing some iconic photographs.

Great breakdown & presentation on lighting, thanks for putting it all to words with real world examples!

Even the video shoot of the photo shoot, looks awesome. Love the attitude of "just keep shooting." Thanks for sharing!

Amazing video learned a lot actually short and to the point loved it

Yet again, well done Cam!

Awesome awesome video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and for being real

amazing video. you can really tell that you take a masterful approach to the craft. super inspiring, my wife and I about to walk to Target in midday sun and will be playing with the light along the way.

Awesome tips, especially with how to use rembrandt lighting to carve out the features of the face! I"m inspired to go do a photoshoot in harsh light now.

OK! This is the best photography channel. I'm stunned and glad I've found it! Thanks for the great videos!

Thanks for the video. I've been loving hard light. Been looking at the work Herb Ritts.

This is great! I really like seeing your thought process on everything. These are such great tutorials/explanations compared to the typical “these are my presets in Lightroom”

I like your no nonsense style. And really in control

Why didn't I think about this kind of stuff sooner. Great advice, thank you.

This is the first time I have seen your photography. You hit a Grand Slam! Out of the Park! I have been shooting in the shadow forever, and in five minutes of your tutorial has me convinced to shoot in the open light! Great advice!

This video made me appreciate photography a lot more thank you

Your videos are such a breath of fresh air 👍

Lately, I find myself repeatedly in situations where I do the exact opposite of what all the "experts" advise. I think it's no coincidence that this video was suggested to me. I have always avoided the time around noon and have just had many aha moments. Thank you for the video. I can't wait to implement the tips.

Great point and well illustrated. Your own photos are awesome in this.

Thanks man! This is so inspiring ❤

I love your channel. Pls dont stop uploading your content

Fantastic video 😎🙏 so many good ideas and examples

Wow! One of the best lessons about harsh light I've seen.

Thank you. I did not know this and will experiment tomorrow with hard light.

Hella good info yo! I’m glad you mentioned the sun in the eyes thing cause that’s the biggest issue I run into when I shoot in midday sun.

Great advice, Cam!

Love this video, I want to understand more on what makes a photo timeless though. When we're talking about timeless photography, are we talking more about photographers who have made a career of it, or are we talking about mastering a specific art form? I think there's a longer discussion we could have there on what each person would consider timeless photography. Either way, absolutely brilliant work, I've always enjoyed working in outdoor hard light.

Such a great breakdown. Love your energy. Subbed! Thanks for this one. :) looking forward to more. Also great music choice.

yewwwww! As soon as I started shooting in hard light it opened up so much more creativity. When I first started out shooting fashion, I was always so afraid to shoot anything beyond golden/blue hour, but once you get the hang of hard light, its soooo good! Great to see photogs like yourself speaking up on this.

Dude I use to be scared of soft light!!! Like after you learn you can shoot in hard light, there’s so much more you can do. From creating natural contrast with shadows, creating more shape, and just shaping the light itself

I love this. Such a valid point! 🔥

Great presentation of your ideas. Thank you!

What I’ve learned over the 7 years of shooting is that there is no rules. Of course when you’re starting out it’s good too know the basics but once you understand your camera and everything else you can decide what your photos look like.

"What I’ve learned over the 7 years of shooting is that there is no rules." Wrong. There are rules. "Know the basics" = "know the rules". You need to know the rules, otherwise you won't know how to bend the rules and create your own style.

Hi. "Know the basics" = "know the rules"..... *Wrong.* According the Merrium Webster, the definition of the elglish word "basic" derived fro plural form "basics", does in fact not equal the word "rules". Upon further investigation it's evident and clear to see that your condescending lessons in semantics, which was actually, and quite ironically... wrong @@Qaosbringer thanks

Beautiful model. Great video.

Thanks for the tips. Interesting comparison with Rembrandt's use of light and some great examples by other photographers. I'll definitely look them up.

Straight to the point and clear. You just got one sub ! ;)

I love your content! My first time watching you. I’m here to stay! I can’t wait for more content like this!

Good information bro. Love the encouragement of shooting even when others say otherwise.

Thank you for showing this! Shooting in the harsh light is now made easy.

Fantastic! I mostly only shoot sunrise or right after mid day.. not a big fan of sunset light.. It was refreshing to hear someone talk so positive about harsh sun light!

This is brilliant, thanks for the video

Great video! I really enjoyed every second of it. On point, I totally agree with you.

awesome topics, always excited to see a new upload, cheers.

Great video! A good reminder to not fear the harsh daylight 🔥

subbed! learned so much and it opens a lot of opportunity for me to go out and just shoot more and more!

Thank you! Finally makes sense!!

Great video and straight to the point! As someone just starting out this is good advice.

Randomly stumbled onto this channel very cool. Subscribed👍

Great video quality and amazing colors.

Love it man

Super useful and well explained! 😃

Love shooting harsh light, shadow play is easier as well. Good Stuff man I subbed! Glad I found you.

That was a cool presentation. Thank you. 😊

Cool video man, thanks for the advice.

Great video, I "fight" w harsh light quite a bit living in FL so this was very inspirational. Thanks!

Good job man. I shoot alot of street and hard light is some of my favorite. So many more creative options with shape and contrast.

You are the man straight to the point... shoot and play until you find what works for you best, I love shooting in all conditions, hard, soft, 120clock, sun down, even in dead darkness, one Tip i can give folks is when shooting always shoot for the shadows, and and watch your highlights, shadows are your best friend when shooting in harsh light, I like how you did this so fresh. What is IG again? get out and play people.

That was super helpful, thank you so much!

Great tips cam thank you ❤❤⚡⚡⚡

What a human been I found! Man, your work is gold!
