Spoiler alert - all I learned at first was that I didn't know squat about how to use gels effectively. In this episode I talk about the steps I personally took to actually learn how to use gels from lighting backgrounds to creating atmosphere to accenting a subject to actually working as the key light and beyond. Next week I am going to be hosting a live workshop at The Hive Studios showing you how to leverage gels in your creative portraits.
