SUMMER SCHOOL 2019 CLASS TWO
LESSONS FROM THE ARCHIVESSUMMER SCHOOL 2019 CLASS TWO
While putting the Lighting Book together (free for subscribers to “In The Frame”) I found some tech sheets and thought I may share them here. Some of these techniques are of an older style, but the information is spot on and you can modify the tools to get something YOU want.
Light is light – and there is over 100 pages of ideas and info in the book.

That’s not to say that I don’t like and appreciate photographers who are following these styles but it’s not me and creativity doesn’t come from mimicking others. I’ve seen a lot of styles and techniques over the decades I’ve been in the photo business. They come and they go – just like the photographers who chase after the latest trend.”
