The recent flash photography workshops have expanded a bit in scope to include video light. Since part of the program is how to deal with balancing flash with video light, and overcome the widely different color balance .. it was a short step to just include the use of video light. Whether using available light or flash or video light or any kind of lighting, at the heart of it is the idea of looking at the light you have .. and the direction and quality of the light.
The effervescent Katie was one of our models, and here you can see how the background light turns a deep shade of blue when the color balance is adjusted for Tungsten light. (The light in the background is daylight filtering through skylights over the courtyard.)
Thank you again to everyone who made this workshop a success!

Thanks Neil for the push to try different things from what I had gotten used to over the years, it is time for me to get outside of “my” box and really work hard at OCF and just try some new concepts with flash. We had a nice group of photographers in the Albany workshop, very willing to share and learn. I am just getting time to download the files from that day so it will be fun to see some of the images and work on them a little. Thanks again for the push. Terry

Awesome Neil! I was very pleased to have been part of the video lighting with Chuck Arlund a couple weeks ago in Nashville. It’s good to see you’ve added it as a regular thing.

That’s a really neat lighting effect. I would have thought that was a nightime shot.
