Photo on the Go with Joe McNally

Join Joe McNally as he deconstructs the natural-looking speedlight lighting set-up from a shoot in Saint Lucia of the Eastern Caribbean.


In this episode of Photo on the Go, prepared exclusively for AdoramaTV, JoeMcNally explains how you can take a small speedlight and turn it into natural-looking daylight. He'll show you how he created the light in a scene using small flash units and made it look like it was natural daylight streaming through a window. Using this technique you can shoot more dramatic environmental portraits.

Lighting simplicity from the master

Helpful? Yes

Joe, Yes, your walk-through of your lighting setups and choices are most definitely helpful. Thank you for doing them and thank you Adorama for producing them. It's one of the reasons you have all my business.
