Looking for inspiration for your photos. Take a Look at photographer Rarindra Prakarsa’s protfolio over on photo.net. Described simply as a semipro photographer, Rarinda has an uncanny knack for photographing light so that you can practically feel it.

Update:
It appears others are similarly curious about how Rarinda gets such wonderful light in his (her?) photographs. If you are interested, read through this thread over on DP Review.

Ian Talbot tells how to be a lighting detective on his blog Concerning Photography. He shows ow to interpret the quality of light and shadow you see in a picture to decipher how the light sources were arranged. So often the direction, strength and diffusion of the light gives the mood of the image, and it is certainly the crowning difference between a “snapshot” and an emotional image worth remembering.

His walkthrough is simple, and easy to understand. Worth reading.
