lighting scientist and photographer spent the weekend in Los Angeles teaching others how to recreate Hollywood style lighting. Here is a man who knows what he is talking about because of his up-close-and-personal babysitter: the film industry ala noir. He grew up watching films like Chinatown while his father made a living as a still photographer on sets where as a child he would frequently play. His interpretation of photography is a sexy vintage Stradivarius mixed with a 1960's sense of freedom. The whole time, he makes it look painless; absolutely painless.
Once in Paris with his magical bag of tricks he shot high fashion for various magazines and clients; for instance Vanity Fair and Vogue Homme. Now he shares some of his secrets with curious students desiring a better understanding of dramatic lighting. I will bet he does not share all of his secrets. The good ones never do.
