We decided the theme should be: Creative studio portraits with Continuous Lighting. The concept behind the Two Perspectives videos was that I get to meet up with a fellow photographer, and that during some kind of photo shoot or conversation, something might be revealed in the contrasting styles and ideas – hopefully it is informative and of wider interest.
