OUR APPRENTICE says…

Olly suggested we start by creating a scene. We kept it simple with two marrows next to a massive window, which worked as a main light source, then we used reflectors to fill in the shadows. I normally push my ISO up to ISO4000 and ‘spray and pray’ in the hope that I’ll get a shot that’s usable, but Ollie made me realise that I was sacrificing quality for quantity. By taking a moment to think, he assured me, I’d end up with much better photos. I’ve tried bouncing my Speedlight off walls and ceilings at home, but I’ve never felt I had it under control. It’s amazing how two small boards can make all the difference.
