VIDEO : Control your shadows

2-02-2026/in blog, Visions and technique, Webinars and instructional videos/by Frank Doorhof

Shadows are awesome

But how do you control them to create something cool?

One of the most important lighting techniques is understanding light falloff and how edge transfer works. I
n the video, Frank explains how to create harsh shadows on the wall using Venetian blinds, as well as how to open up the shadows with some color.

Want to learn everything about light control?
Want to visit a workshop where it’s not just shooting a model with a fixed lighting setup, but see how the setup is build and adjusted to the taste of the group?
And of course learn how to work with poses, backgrounds, small sets, styling, retouching and a lot more…..

If this all sounds awesome, visit fotografie-workshops.nl and book your workshop.
If you don’t speak Dutch, no problem, let us know a few weeks in advance and we can switch the workshop to English.
Not possible to travel to The Netherlands?
We got you covered with our 1:1 online workshop.
We have a full streaming setup in our studio. 4 detail cameras and of course the retouching software so you can see every detail and of course ask questions during the day. Plus you get all the RAW files after the workshop.
