    Go behind-the-scenes with me during my photoshoot with professional dancer Fernando. I was focusing creating contrast for Black & White images while working with Fernando.

    Thanks for all these shares - appreciable to see a live shoot where explanation is provided in real-time for set-up and little tweaks here and there along the way to capturing the final visualized product - usually these-type "tutorials" are so polished the target audience never sees the required process in its entirety - and erroneously think they just suck at this-type (studio) photography.

    IMO - I'd rather see the "errors" or "hiccups" being corrected along the way than attempting to mimic someone's polished style - peeps so need to understand this. Creating one's own style is such a path of trial and error; and personal taste . . . :cool:

    You're welcome. He's no Joel Grimes or Karl Taylor, but he shares ideas about working in a small commercial portrait studio. I feel like he's learning as he goes and takes his students with him for the learning journey.
