Alternative lighting photography is definitely my favorite kind of shoots to do. So much drama can be added just by changing the colors or brightness of the light. I love the intense shadows caused by the strategically placed light sources. Some think lighting like this is harder to work with, which I agree with, but the images produced are definitely worth the few extra minutes playing with camera settings. My interest in gel lighting helped to push the theme of the 2017-2018 yearbook. Each of our profiles had a gel light portrait to add to the intensity and drama of our theme. An example of one of these is under the yearbook page of my portfolio.
