Nikon Ambassador, Joe McNally, joins us for a fun, virtual photographic afternoon event. McNally will discuss and explore a common question he is asked during lectures: Was this photograph natural light or flash? The key to any good photograph is not “seeing” the hand of the photographer. McNally will share examples, from simple to complex scenarios, and talk about the thought process and technical strategies in controlling all manner of lighting. A dedicated time for Q&A will provide the opportunity to ask one of the premier working photographers and educators any, and all, questions!
