Just in as much as he's telling us to turn our flashes off and find northern exposure for indoor shots. We did talk about artificial lighting but he feels an entire class needs to be devoted to it. As an artist, he prefers shooting in natural light--I don't think I've seen anything by him that WASN'T shot in natural light--so he may not be the guy to teach it. (He showed us a shot he took of pears indoors near sunset. It was stunning, and perfectly lit from a window.)

Listen Maven, I am soooo frustrated with photography lighting. Tutorials seem to use terms I, as a beginner, don't know. I have two free standing lights with nylon umbrellas. I move them all around and up and down, side to side. My photos don't have that nice, soft, professional look. I don't use my camera flash due to the harshness. I have read multiple tutorials. (learning challenged) Is your teacher really teaching you lighting techniques?
