Episode 434: How to Mix Strobe & Sunlight – Drae Brown
Combining light sources can lead to extremely powerful images, but the technique requires a level of comfort and experience for proper execution!
I recently saw Drae Brown post a few images on Facebook of a stunning portrait session where he combined flash and a gorgeous sunrise to highlight his model. The image was so well-lit that I knew I needed to bring him on the show to share how he managed to capture these images.
Listen in to episode 434 of the Bokeh Podcast as we get to know Drae, and hear his approach to mixing strobe and sunlight!
