Pro Tip: Want to kill more ambient lighting but your DSLR will only sync with studio strobes to a certain shutter speed? The answer is a Vari ND filter that will cut down all light (both ambient and artificial) accordingly. Just remember to crank your studio strobe power back up.

Hey folks, we’ve haven’t been giving as much love to the Creating the Photograph series as we should have, but we’d like to bring it back.

It’s all about lighting, editing and concepts as well as education. If you think you’ve got something worth featuring, shoot me an email at chrisgampat[at]thephoblographer[dot]com.
