I am REALLY slow when it comes to understanding photography.

I think it is useful to separate the subject of photography from that of creating a well lit scene. After all, if you were to paint from life you would be faced with the same circumstances of needing to light your subject. The only difference is that after you have created your set up you photograph instead of paint.
Photography is really pretty simple, creating scenes suitable for painting is where the real magic lies.
I wish more time were spent on the subject of design and composition, the lighting being a part of design.
