Conrad Hall Light Quotations

There are infinite shadings of light and shadows and colors... it's an extraordinarily subtle language. Figuring out how to speak that language is a lifetime job.

That's why I like fast film. It gives you more freedom to light more naturally.

With today's fast films, you can light the way your eye sees the scene. You can abuse the film and create subtleties in contrast with light and exposure, diffusion and filters. That's what makes it an art.

The closer the source of light is to a subject, the broader the beams are.

The sun is the most parallel light source because it is so far away.

You have to understand the nature of light.
