Dean Collins was a master of photography. He knew exactly how light behaves and – more importantly – how to control light.
In this video he explains the principles of lightins and how to create a 3-dimensional image (4 diminsions in fact). Sometimes he goes fast, but in this 7 minute video he explains what makes a 3D image by using a light meter in order to create specular highlights, diffused values and shadow area’s.
His joke about the couple of mixed races who are going to get married is so witty and lastly his comment about shooting Ekta or negative film is painfully accurate.
