I love photography using the available light. Why is it that many photographers still perceive a good photograph as evenly exposed subjects with super soft light? I think all the light and shadows in a composition have to be preserved as they are; I think Flash is a real mood killer; it makes the extraordinary ordinary.

Interior Designers and Architects master the art of lighting in their designs. They use primary, and secondary light sources to create the right mood for the space, or structure that they are planning for. Same principals could be applied to photography too.

This image was sitting in my portfolio and yet I didn’t have it up on my Flickr account. It is taken using available light as I usually like to do it. Juanita is a professional Ballet and Jazz dancer.
