Lights!!!

This is a BTS of a recent shoot I did at ThunderShot Studios in Fairfax, VA. Great rental space for both video and photography with lots of lighting equipment on hand to use - photographers must provide their own flash gear though.

Lighting Workshop

I'm here in action volunteering at The Fairfax Academy for Communications and the Arts. After my talk on photographic lighting we did some hands-on studio shots. Here I'm demonstrating ways to use a scrim and a single light to produce either a soft or a more specular highlight on a reflective object.

Zulu Alpha Kilo - Spec Work

No one should have to do spec work! This is a wonderful video on the subject.
