Tip about using gels

Gels are awesome to play with and really spice a shot up.

Often people think you need to use two gels to achieve the effect you see here.

In fact you don’t

If you use for example a strong red gel and balance based on the gel in the mix you can actually “fake” the idea that you used two gels.

Remember that color is nothing more than a balance or calibration. Use your gels smart and you can create stunning images without too much problems. All colors are connected. What you do is just manipulate your white point.

Would love to see you’re favorite gelled images.

      By using one gel and not correcting on the skin tones you will get a different color than than the original skin tone.
