I had heard of
Zack Arias quite a while ago. I browsed some of his work and was very interested in his
OneLight DVD that I saw promos for. I finally got the set of dvds and loved them. I'll need to rewatch them many times to really absorb all that is presented. As I did more searching for Zack's work on the internet, I came across this really great
edit technique that I had to try for myself. What he flies by and does in just a few minutes took me about half an hour to achieve. But it was my first time and I love how it came out. I did this dance shoot with Brittaney last October and knew this was the image (pictured above) to which I needed to apply this edit technique. My plan is to follow
Zack's guide to setting up a studio for high key work and try a lot more of this. I have to say I was getting really bored of studio work but his model really motivates me to want to do a lot more of this type of work. So for all the above, if you're reading, thank you, Zack Arias.
