Whilst photography needs light it also needs shadows to give depth and interest to a shot. That applies just as much to studio photography as it does to location shoots and that’s where Gobo’s can really help.

A gobo can be anything that creates shadows or patterns and in this video photographer Gavin Hoey uses every day items to create amazing photos with shadows.
