Save the date: "Commercial vs Editorial Photography" live photography demo with Lindsay Adler Fashion Photography and Nanlite!

🗓 Tuesday, October 29th at 5 PM ET

About the demo ⤵️

You've likely heard the terms 'commercial' and 'editorial' when it comes to photography, but what does that really mean for style or technique? In this live demonstration Lindsay Adler will create a variety of images showcasing how you can start with a commercial look and make tweaks to light, color and styling to transform the image to an editorial result.

Remember, being a professional photographer can be super hectic and stressful. Make sure you’re not only taking care of the camera itself, but the person holding it as well 💙
