I learned to light after years of deconstructing the work of other photographers. And I know from your previous feedback that you guys are fond of these posts, so let’s dig into another one. How did I make this picture? Is it a lucky snapshot? Is it lit? If so, how? The camera Settings? The direction? Post production? Whatever details you think are needed to make this image. Looking forward to you trying to pick... read more ›
