Today marks the first breakdown using a combination of YouTube videos and the podcast. I hope they are as valuable as the old versions.

Let me know what you think.

This was a commercial we shot as part of a larger series that we will look at more in the future.

Below you can watch the videos (Part #1 is below and Part #2 will be available later this week on YouTube) and see the final images as well.

IF you would like your questions answered be sure to head on over to the Wandering DP Patreon and ask away.

Mastering Exposure - Do Better Work

You like nice images? Me too.

I had no idea how to make them but then I learned by studying for years. Skip the years part and let me show you what I think is the most important skill in cinematography.

Understanding exposure was key to my development as a cinematographer and the first major unlock of knowledge that made a measurable impact on my ability to create images I was happy with.

The system I used to strengthen my understanding of exposure and how to improve my ability to recognize various patterns of exposure gave me an ability to bypass years of on set experience. The tools that I used and still use to this day were simply unavailable to cinematographers up until a very short time ago.

In Mastering Exposure I breakdown my techniques for learning exposure, we go over just how important exposure actually is, and then lay out my workflow from start to finish as to how to use the knowledge you gain from your studies.

I can confidently say that nothing has made a larger impact on my cinematography abilities than my thorough approach to understanding exposure and how to manipulate it in the most efficient way possible.

My hope is the course will be as impactful for you and your career.
