Beyond the Flash: Unlocking the. Potential of Constant Lighting in Photography

On Thursday of last week I had the pleasure of being invited to be part of Wescott Wednesday hosted by B&H Photo Video on their Event Space.

As I’m using Constant Flash more and more these days for when taking portraits I was asked to talk about my experience and how / why I feel that it has made such a positive impact on how I portraits, but not just for me but also the person being photographed.

The recording of the LIVE Broadcast I’ve added below, in which I go through what constant light I’m using, how I’m using it and also go through tips on how I take portraits in which I hope you’ll see how good constant light is to combine with them.

HUGE thanks to Westcott for inviting me to speak and also to the great folks at B&H who do such a great job hosting and preswenting these events.

Westcott Wednesday: Unlocking the Potential of Constant Lighting

So here’s a date for the diary …

In conjunction with Westcott and B&H Photo and Video, on the 15th May @ 3pm EDT (8pm UK) I'll be on "Westcott Wednesday" going through the WHY, WHAT and HOW of using Constant Lighting when taking portraits.

Thid will be the latest installment of the regular Westcott Wednesday series hosted by B&H in which I’ll be, as the description says …

Join us for this presentation as Photographer Glyn Dewis takes us through a journey shifting from traditional flash to constant lighting in portraiture. With a mix of image examples and behind the scenes, Glyn will explain how constant lighting has become the cornerstone of his portrait work, injecting a newfound level of creativity and enthusiasm into his photography.

“At first, using constant light almost felt like cheating but I’ve since completely changed my mind because aside from being under no illusion of the results I get and the ease of setting up, more than anything it enables me to concentrate even more on the person in front of my camera and the concept we’re working on.”

Oh and this event is FREE , will last about 1 hour and will be over on the B&H Event Page on YouTube ( LINK )
