AbilityWith over 20 years in professional photography, chances are we’ll have seen a similar problem before and will know how to solve it!TechnologyAs you can see, we travel with quite a bit of gear - and this is on light equipment day....Experience ...but even with the best gear in the world, the pictures would be nothing without the experience to know how to light things and what looks good.
Principal photographer Steve Dunning has been shootingprofessionally since 1988. In the early years this meant shootingmore industrial interiors than he caresto remember, but it was brillianttraining in lighting- if you can make anengineering factory look good you canmake anywhere look great!
