I honestly thought that just by owning a pack of color gels that my photography career would immediately be transformed and I would instantly be more creative, professional and respected.
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.
