    I&apos;m a photographer and I love the emphasis you make on lighting... there are no words to really describe how important light is. :) Thanks for the tips and video!

    I&apos;m an artist of 30 years. I am formally educated and also self taught. My focus is digital 3D. The advice I give 99% of the time is about lighting. Not composition, silhouette, form, perspective, or any other traditional things like that. Lighting. Almost every time someone says &quot;my render looks like poo, why?&quot; the answer is bad lighting. I do it so much I&apos;ve considered making a canned response on the subject.

    &quot;I sculpted a mannequin head with realistic wrinkles and skin pores&quot;... I mean, if you guys didn&apos;t realize this channel is a gem up to this point. Now is a good time.

    Wow, so many people pay a lot of money to go to film school, and seriously, friends, this is a film class. Markus, please continue to be my teacher and guide many of us down the path of &quot;LIGHT&quot; haha

    You are a rare find on YouTube. While others focus on &apos;extreme consumerism&apos; and camera specs, you teach what actually matters: the art of light. I&apos;ve stopped chasing the latest gear to focus on my craft thanks to you. Thank you for your generosity and for being a real expert in a sea of amateurs! You&apos;re the best, man!

    Lighting masterclass, Markus. &nbsp;Starting with 101 &amp; working up to at least Graduate level. &nbsp;<br><br>Camera is a light-tight box. &nbsp;All it does is capture what&apos;s in front of it. &nbsp;The image is LIGHT; that&apos;s what you&apos;re teaching. &nbsp;<br><br>Invaluable. &nbsp;Thank you.
