Learning bit of photography gave me more sensitivity about what my eyes are seeing. The way light touches objects, involving them, bouncing back shedding a shadow giving texture and form. Is a illusion? Maybe yes. But still lighting is a pathway to our senses and mood expression. I know there are out there rendering software that intends to simulate lighting effects but maybe still lacks the warmth real light gives to photography.
