Perfect for both experienced photographers and those new to the concept, this session aims to unlock the creative potential lying in the interplay of light and shadow.

The session begins with an engaging 30-minute lesson from David Arnold, who brings his wealth of experience to bear in demystifying the use of gobos in studio photography.
