    When I was in school a million years ago, we learned to use "available light," which according to our professor was any light that was available, on scene or in his trunk. He also preached, "You cannot create light if you cannot first see light." Man, you see light better than most. You speak humbly, but your work shows your true mastery. Keep doin what you're doin.

    Man, you may not consider yourself a cinematographer but you're a natural talent in creating moving imagery. Keep advancing in the craft cause you really got the eye for it.

    I'm from Brazil, sorry if the English is not correct, I translated using Google Translate.
    Anyway, you are very good at teaching and passing your eyes on the footage, many things I see on your channel, are things that took me a LONG time to learn and you manage to make everything very clear and simplified.
    Congratulations on the message about not getting lost in the pursuit of perfection.
    I'm a fan of the channel, I hope it continues forever! I'm sure it will grow much more!

    Thank you! Definitely on the same page here....I love using natural light with my photography. I'm also a firm believer in using what you have without adding all the bells and whistles.
    In my personal opinion, natural light sets a better mood for the photo and like you said, there is always a way to manipulate that natural light (precise posing for the best effect or reflectors) to your benefit without dragging out unnecessary and expensive source lighting.

The clouds want to steal the show - literally, lol. But seriously, when the clouds shift and change the brightness WHILE recording, it "ruins" my shots. How have you worked with that element of surprise?
