Ask any photographer what the most important element of photography is, and they will tell you it comes down to the lighting. Without light, there is no image, too much of it, and the shot is ruined. Mastering the ability to control light is invaluable, and together with iFootage Gear, we’re bringing you the opportunity to showcase your skills in a new Quest!
The Emotive Lighting Quest will award four lucky winners a prize bundle valued at $620 US. A bundle of lighting gear will allow the chosen photographers to create the ideal lighting scenario anywhere their heart desires, so the perfect studio shot will be only a click away.

The brief
This Quest is open to photographers of all skill levels—we welcome you to submit your photos regardless of camera device. Photography doesn’t need to be limited by your tools, and we want to make the practice as accessible as possible. However, the images you submit must focus on the light and the emotions you can convey within the frame.
Every submission must demonstrate the theme of using lighting to capture and enhance emotions in people. Photographs should depict a clear emotional narrative influenced by the lighting.
The use of natural or artificial lighting should be central to the composition and mood of the photograph. Light should play a key role in highlighting emotions and creating shadows, contrasts, and textures.
