However, I tried to show you the whole process of creating such a shot with my thoughts and troubleshooting of the issues. The Blue Splash The creation...
I won’t bore you all with my history (actually I will but that will come later) so I’m just gonna get right into it… From the time I started shooting, about 10 years ago, all I’ve ever heard is that you need studio lights to make great pics happen. Until...
