For an eternal light

As I've always said in almost all of my photography posts, natural light is very important to me and is my primary source of light for the photos I like to take, which includes everything from street photography to landscape photography, and even occasionally portraits. However, that doesn't mean I don't like artificial light. It's not what I usually do, for many reasons. First, because I don't have artificial light sources, but I used to work with artificial light when I worked for an audiovisual production company.

Among the light characteristics I always look for during the day is strong light, so it must be a completely clear day with not a hint of cloud cover, and above all, intense sunlight. Therefore, I usually take photos during times when the sun is strongest, between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. or between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m., although I also occasionally enjoy it at dawn or dusk.

On the other hand, here you can see some examples of how I use light when composing my photographs. This time, I'm presenting this series in black and white because it's how I achieve the best results when it comes to creating texture and contrast, as in this case, where I can create a greater range of black tones in contrast to the lighter parts of the scene. The subjects vary among animals and, on occasion, people.

All photographs are my own.
