We may think that, for being a professional photographer, we have to own many accessories; Joe told us that he only brought two flashes and a camera to shoot these photos.

Master Class MCNALLY GAVE US SOME TIPS ABOUT LIGHT, HE HAS MANY FLASHES AND THESE ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO

TAKE A PHOTO.

Tip #1To take a good photo, it does not matter if we are in a theater, we can shoot with an auxiliary flash.

McNally has used four different flashes, some of them have had color. To have good results, the photographer has to try different flash positions.

I thought that these photos had to been taken with a big production. It was very awesome to find the answer about the production.

Tip #2McNally told us another tip about light. With different color flashes we can make different effects.

The photo was taken only with four flashes, three flashes were shooting behind the guys, and one more was shooting in front of the guys and behind the computer; it was interesting because all the people in the theater thought the computer was switch on.

Tip #3McNally, as a professional, has had many opportunities to experiment with light, so he recommended us to study our client. Sometimes, it is necessary to know their names, their occupation or specific things about their lives.

If we know about the person, we can choose the perfect light to communicate a message in this.
