enough available light still registering on the background (with some spill from the flash), but with the softbox delivering a cleaner more dramatic look to the light falling on the model&#8217;s face.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Photography workshops<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/photography-workshops\/\">More info<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0about upcoming\u00a0photography workshops.<\/li>\n<li>Recap\u00a0of\u00a0previous\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/category\/photography-workshop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">photography workshops<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>recap: Photography workshop \u2013 Atlanta (2009) The near-penultimate\u00a0workshop for this year was held in Atlanta, covering the range of topics relating to flash photography and lighting.\u00a0 As always, it was good to meet and work with a group of people &#8211;
