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.

First up is a tech sheet for doing a beautifully lit headshot with a spray light.
