How to Shoot at High Noon in Italy

Photo Tips

Open Shade vs Shadows

In teaching our workshops over the years, we’ve seen that a lot of people confuse open shade with shadows. Open shade is different. It’s like one, big, solid shadow that has no dimension or depth of light. If you wait until late afternoon or golden hour to photograph these fairy-tale medieval villages, you will be left with open shade because the sun has moved beyond the reach of the narrow alleyways. But if you plan your trip to photograph these villages during high noon, you’ll be taking photos non-stop as every shadow draws you in more and more.
 If you try to avoid shooting when light is harsh, check out this article on How to Shoot at High Noon in Italy from Sony Artisan, Me Ra Koh.
