Lighting Talk with LensFlare35

Earlier this month I was interviewed by Dave Warner of LensFlare35 about how I lit a number of my favorite photographs. Most were lit with Speedlites (of course). A few were lit with ambient light.
To watch the slideshow and listen to some of my insights on lighting, click on the photo above (or here). You’ll then be whisked away to LensFlare 35 where you can start the presentation.
There’s also a separate podcast interview in which I answer an extended series of questions from Dave about my thoughts on the world of photography and many of my projects. You’ll find it linked at the bottom of the page on Lensflare35.
