In this video I discuss how to control and manipulate a single light source to create Dramatic Black and White portraits. By properly controlling your light, you can make it seem as if you shot the image using 3 or more Lights. As with all my videos, I give you an actual live view of the shoot, and showing you images as my camera takes it. Hope you guys enjoy! Don’t forget to Subscribe, Like and Share!

Just something about me…
Since prior to my entry into the wedding industry, I have been considered to be one of the most reputable lighting specialists in the Philippines, conducting workshops nationwide and have been featured in various photography magazines. I was also a multi-awarded portrait and advertising photographer.
My expertise is in manipulating ambient and artificial light to create clean and classic photographs which naturally led me to the genre of portrait and wedding photography. Since then, I have shot numerous weddings locally and overseas exhibiting my signature style.
