I struggled to get even lighting without just ending up making my shadows look boring. I had light envy and felt that I didn't have access to good light. I'd play and rearrange the food and props, then would realise that I couldn't get the shot due to the fact that natural light always changing.

YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Hi! I’m Rachel, an Aussie transplant, professional food photographer and the founder of Two Loves, a studio and online workshop platform that blends my passions for food and photography.

Got questions? Check out the FAQs.
What format is the Case Study Book?
The Art of Light is available as an instant PDF download. The book includes a number of interactive links to help you navigate each lesson and get the most out of learning about natural light. It is recommended that you work through this book on a computer or tablet. A printed version isn’t currently available for purchase, however, it is designed to fit a standard US Letter printer so you can print it yourself.
Can't I find this information free online?
You can definitely find out about the dynamics of light for free if you’re willing to trawl through hundreds of blog posts and online resources and piece together the information. (AND that’s only if you find quality and reliable information). You can’t, however, find behind the scenes setups of the three case study images. You also won’t be able to find out about my journey and thought process of modifying natural light. Being self-taught, I know how to make sure I teach information in a way that sticks.
How much is the ebook and in what currency?
Art of Light is $27 USD.
I'm confident with light, can I learn something new?
There is a lot to know about natural light. Although it isn’t sexy, light follows the laws of physics. If you don’t truly understand the Inverse Square Law and how to apply it, Ambient light power, Light fall-off, how to create Hard and Soft light, edge light or strip light, the difference between Sunlight and Skylight, plus that more times than not your diffuser if your light source NOT your window, then there is certainly some powerful knowledge to be gained by reading this behind the scenes case study.
Do you offer a refund or guarantee?
I have created this book beyond a basic level. Not only does it cover the basics of natural light, but it provides insights into high-level modifying techniques to take you a step further than those who are self-taught. I am confident that you’ll learn something new, that if you don’t learn at least ONE new thing, I’ll provide you with a full refund within 14 days of purchase.
Is this ebook for beginning or advanced skills?
In this ebook I walk through the basics with you, and then build onto more simple, but advanced set ups. Most advanced photographers have never studied the dynamics of light and don't know how to utilise the Inverse Square Law. Understanding this will not only help you with natural light, but will help you understand how artificial light works.
