Into the Light Portraits | LIVE with Gavin Hoey

There are very few rules in photography but "don’t shoot into the light" is one saying that is often suggested and traditionally for an excellent reason. Uncontrolled lens flare and a reduction in contrast, are two good reasons to take this advice to heart. But some rules are meant to be broken and "don’t shoot into the light", is at the top of Photographer Gavin Hoey’s list of advice to ignore. In this live-streamed photo session, Gavin Hoey shows you the pros and cons of pointing a light directly at your camera lens. He’ll show you ways to make lens flair look planned, controlled, and creative in a studio environment. Gavin will squeeze as many real-world examples of creative lens flair into an hour. Join the conversation, get your questions answered live, and help steer the session… or watch along and enjoy.
