"Alright, guys," Prompto grinned from where he sat perched on the desk at the front of the class, "welcome back. Hope the week after the school trip hasn't been too terrible; I definitely know how that goes! But I'm sure you have about a million pictures from the trip you want to show off, and I'm really excited to see them, too. So let's not waste any time and get right into that, and, hopefully," here, he chuckled a little, "we'll still have some time left over to talk about today's today's lesson, which is going to be lighting."

In case any of you were wondering about all the...well, lighting equipment in the room right now.

"So let's jump right in. Who'd like to go first? And, obviously, if you want to just show off your work, that's cool, but you'll definitely get bonus points if you can show how you put to use some of the techniques you've been learning about in class, too."

"Okay," Prompto chuckled after the last student had gone, "maybe that was actually a terrible idea, because now? I kind of just want to go back. But move forward we must, and back into actually learning about photos, because today, we're onto something that's really important and will lead into a lot of what we'll be doing from this point forward, and that's to really get a good grasp on lighting.

"Lighting for photography is everything," he said. "Well, not everything, because everything else we've talk about...angle, depth, rule of thirds....that's all important, too, but it's a lot harder to show off your skills if we can't even really see what you're photographing. And not only does lighting illuminate your subject in more ways than one," yes, he was proud of that one, shhh, "you can also do the opposite and use shadows to make an image pop in unexpected ways. Let me get into it further..."

And, with that, and the use of all the equipment he borrowed from the store, he got into all the nitty-gritty, going on about hard light versus soft light, diffusion, etc, etc, etc....
