Unpopular Opinions with Sandra Coan | A Photography & Business Podcast

Welcome to the final episode of the lighting series! On the first day, we talked about what relying exclusively on natural light is actually costing you. Then on day two, we talked about how a lot of us put ourselves through that stress because we have some fears and misconceptions about what working with strobes and flash means. Yesterday I talked about how fear is really the thing that holds people back from learning this amazing skill. Lighting seems hard, but what I've discovered through teaching lighting to myself and then thousands of other photographers around the world, is that you actually already know most of what you need to in order to get started.

So then what do you actually need to learn in order to be successful with using strobes and flash in your business? That's what we're going to talk to you about in this final episode of the lighting series!

Welcome to Day 2 of the Lighting Series! We started the conversation off by talking about what dealing with low light or bad light is actually costing you and your business. That cost goes beyond just impacting your photos. Yes, bad or low light will have an impact on the images you create. But it also causes stress, hurts your brand and ultimately hurts your business.

As you may or may not know, I was a natural light photographer for about 12 years. I was really stuck in this cycle of beautiful weather meant beautiful photos, not beautiful weather meant bad photos for a very long time.

The reason that I stayed stuck for so long was because I had a lot of fear and misconceptions around artificial lighting—what it looked like and what it meant to work with it. I know I’m not alone—many photographers do! In this episode, I dive right into those fears and misconceptions.

If you want to be a great photographer and make money, you must know and understand how to use light. As part of the lighting series on the podcast, I'll address some of the concerns and questions that come up most often around lighting. I want to put some of the myths that I hear about light to rest, and hopefully this inspires and empowers you to think about artificial light in a new way.

In this episode, I share with you the cost of bad light, like what dealing with bad light is actually costing you as a professional photographer.
