Synopsis:
Light is all around us. Good job given that we're photographers as it's our most essential resource and we certainly can't do much without it! In this session John will do away with fancy gadgets, flashes, video lights, studio heads and rely on light sources he finds around the venue to create his images. This workshop is straight out of the A Team Book of Photography in that John will use anything at all he can find to add dimension to the images. His only tools will be a reflector and DSLR in this session that will strip your technique back to basics and increase your skill level and understanding many times over.
