Wonderful lesson on light wrap around.
I agree with Anthony..Really creative stuff..
How do you guys think of this stuff? Super creative set up.
Hi Anthony between us we have 40 years of studio lighting experience from training other pros to working on big brand advertising campaigns. As always for me it’s about finding a solution and that starts with understanding what is possible through a knowledge of lighting and the principles of light itself, such as in chapeter 1 of this particular course. I’m glad you are discovering new things to try, that’s always our aim as educators.
