What is a photographic image?
Photography is a framing art. Taking a pictures means to decide what part of the subject to fit into the viewfinder and how to present it to a viewer out of its context. As the American photographer Garry Winogrand once said: "photography is not about the thing photographed. It is about how that thing look photographed".

A matter of Light
Photography literally means drawing by using light. As Light is indeed the matter photographies are made from, it is fundamental to learn how to control it for obtaining effective results with your camera.
Exposure is the combination of camera settings (ISO, aperture, shutter time) that let the light act on the sensor/film to record that precise moment in a photograph. Your camera has different setting to meter the amount of light reflected by the subject. You can even use your mobile phone as a professional light meter with this cool app myLightMeter .
The following teaser for a videoclip directed by Nacho Guzman is based on the different effects you can obtain by changing the position of a light source in respect of a subject.
