At the same time, I’ve been thinking more intentionally about how to deliver that message as a talk. Not a tech tutorial. Not a workshop walkthrough. But a real talk. The kind that shifts something inside the audience. The kind that sticks. And that’s exactly why...

Hi Reader, One of the most common questions I get? “My image looks dark—how do I fix it?” And apart from simply needing more lighting in the room, the real answer comes down to understanding one thing: The Exposure Triangle.
