We all think we know how to control light. After all, this is the core skill we need to learn as photographers (the clue is in the name!). However, managing exposure and actually using it to capture the best possible image are two very different subjects. In Part 2 of our professional masterclass series, photography expert Jeremy Flint explains how to use light to create images with as much color and detail as possible. Get more out of your camera and produce images you might not have thought possible with your current kit.

Shoot smartly!

Smartphone cameras may have been underappreciated in years past, but today, they’re a powerhouse of photo technology, with some features not even available on a “proper” professional camera. In the current market, camera phones represent a real alternative to compact digital cameras, and more importantly, a backup camera in the field. In our featured feature this month, learn how to maximize the quality of images created by smaller format sensors and take full advantage of the portability of your phone’s camera to create dynamic compositions.
