How did you learn light?

Good lighting can make or break a photo.

I was interested how the professional photographers learned their lighting and what they would suggest to others?

I broke everything down to make myself learn with consistency before adding in variables. Personally, I learned by shooting products. Having something consistent to shoot made me explore and learn how lighting worked and how it formed shapes without adding in movement/emotions yet. 

Once I understood that- then I went in and added how that worked with people.

My newest painting and lighting technique 😉

People learning lighting- what are your set backs? What is making you feel stuck?

Professionals: What did you do to learn it? How did you break it down?

I agree. I am pretty minimalist so super tech and over analyzation gets me-im in the field and they will complicated to where even I am like "what the hell?". *kindred spirit* simple is better!
