My wife and I did our first photoshoot for our ice-dyed apparel brand Ohio Drip, and learned a lot in the process including the importance of light from people like Sawyer Hartman and his interview with famous photographer Michael Muller. We also took a photography class at the Columbus Printed Arts Center where we learned how cameras use light to create images. It got me thinking - What even is light? Come with me on a journey from lighting, to photography, to Light as Medicine and Dr. Jacob Lieberman's work, Opticks by Newton, The Allegory of the Cave by Plato, and back to lighting up your own life.
