In this Photo Deconstruction I break down a supersaturated fantasy fashion image that uses 4 continuous lights. This is the perfect look for a spooktacular Halloween themed shoot! π
I've started using continuous lights more and more for their flexibility, real-time feedback, and ability to capture stills and motion simultaneously. Advancements in technology and color control make use them much more desirable!
This image was taken during one of my in person workshops in conjunction with Nanlite.
I have a few coming up for November 2023 you might want to check out:

![Color Gel Photography Critiques
A couple weeks back I started doing image critiques again (by popular request!), beginning with 1 light setups. π [View the previous 1 light setup critique: https://youtu.be/ykFMqVPpYG4 ]
With that, I also wanted to open things up to different types of photos and focusing on themes.
Since gels are one of my FAVORITE tools to use when creating colorful creative images, I thought that would be a great critique to have!
So sit back, relax and check out these user submitted images!
