Laws of Light: Creating Dimension and Texture

Hi, this is Jay P. Morgan. On this episode of The Slanted Lens, you'll learn about creating dimension and texture in your photography and videography. It's the next in our series of The Laws of Light. The application is important for anyone in video or photo. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Keep those cameras rollin' and keep on clickin'.

I misspoke in the beginning, thank you for those who caught that, photography is 2 dimensional!

[chrisogrady]

JP must love his pictures of lines, long lines, short lines, different coloured lines!
God, 1 dimension has so many different possibilities!

Thanks Jay P. Morgan! Fascinating guidelines you gave us as to how to create texture. Gave me some great ideas how I can apply this concept to documentary camera work here in Alaska. By the way, just did stop this half-way through to go outside-- minus 10 below-- to get some great winter light shots. Kept on clicking... Now back inside so I could finish today's lesson by the warm fireplace. Just a side note, for those who've never been to the Arctic. In the wintertime, everything is ONE DIMENSION! Flat snow, flat ice, flat frozen tundra, miles and miles. So Jay P. Morgan, no apologies needed up here in this country!

Best channel I've ever seen. Excellent explanation. Learnt lots of fundamental knowledge from here. You are my savior Mr. Morgan:)

[sermirandavideo]

Hey JP, thanks for this. I not only love your channel, but I also recommend it to a lot of friends starting with photography, for them to get the basics and not so basic tips.
I'm a professional photographer and DoP, and although I generally feel very familiar with all the content you teach, I still learn a lot from your techniques and experience.

I would like to ask you for a special request, tho, as I really can't seem to find anything relevant.

I would like to learn theory and technique to work with the Camera Calibration Module in Lightroom, specially with the HUE/SAT sliders. Understand how they work in theory, and how they inter-relate. All I find online generally is about how to set up your camera profile, but not an explanation on how to use creatively the sliders.

Thanks and keep up the good work!!
