David Harry Stewart Quote

Making money at photography is a difficult thing to do. I don’t want to discourage you from your dreams, you should always pursue whatever it is that you love doing. The fact is that in the last three years the business has changed considerably. It has gone from being hard, to being very very hard. Success requires considerable luck, a vision that is relevant to the market, business sense and most of all perseverance. There is a certain Darwinian element to it, those who try the longest and the hardest survive.

This was a great presentation on the power of speedlights. There was a lot of great information to absorb in one day. I'm excited to incorporate some simple lighting techniques within my bag of tricks. I love natural light, fill and open shade, but I've never loved on-camera flash. When you take that flah off camera it can become a powerful strobe when used correctly.
