Intensity controls- distance to subject, power or wattage of light, in case
of strobes the power ratio can be set on the individual head and or at the
power box

 

 

Colour controls - type of light, daylight, flash, tungsten, gels on lights
or windows

 

 

Light Quality- type of light housing, polished metal, pimpled, umbrella,
diffusion material, scrims to focus or diffuse in patterns, ., position of
lights and the ratio of each light to the others. 

 

 

Included in all that is film type and format,  exposure and development ,
printing techniques

 

 

Back in the early 1990's Aaron Jones introduced the Hose master. There were
other similar units, but this was basically a light source that allowed you
to paint light on a subject. It worked best for still objects, but he also
had a method for portraits. Lighting is the key to making the look. 

 

Maybe Bob will run some workshops and he can introduce you to print enhancer
as you relax to discuss the outcomes : )

and yes, the lighting is the key.

 

Enough folks have said this now to steer my line of questioning that way.

 

What is one trying to achieve by controlling the lighting (assuming one can
control its intensity, colour and "optical diffusivity" (I thought that last
one could be my new term for the day but Google thinks otherwise!)) ?  And
how can one achieve that?
