Ashley! I love your videos! They are so concise, thought-out, and really well done. I've been doing this for 17 years, and I wish I would have had these resources when I started - LOL! Great job!
Thanks for watching!!
Thank you! Glad I can be a helpful resource. 😄
Just so that you know, It wasn't that long ago, photo students had to pay $$$$ Thousands $$$$ per year in Art & Photo Schools to learn these types of photo lighting techniques. Keep up the great work. And Thank You.

Nice work, as usual! I do use a couple of these techniques, when I have the extra hands available.
Right on! Which one do you find yourself using more of?
I diffuse or bounce, if I don't have a strobe. Haven't tried the net.
