Day to Night, Flash to Candle Light: Take and Make Great Photography with Gavin Hoey

www.adorama.com
Using candle light to illuminate your model sounds like a great idea and can look amazing but a single candle doesn't produce much light, so can be tricky. Fortunately Gavin Hoey has you covered with this great technique to turn day to night and mix flash and candle light.
The first surprise is Gavin shoots his night-time photos in the day time. Gavin explains who you can mix flash and candle light to create the effect and goes on the create a Tudor night scene . Finally Gavin takes you into Photoshop to fine tune the effect.
