Lighting with Gels with Clay Patrick McBride

I really enjoyed the course and have learned a few new techniques. Every photographer is a different artist, and I do not try to judge them by the way they proceed, but by the knowledge they have, use, and are able to teach. Clay and Chris have great teamwork and a lot of fun with this.

This is experimenting! And I love it, if you are creative you cannot always predict the outcome, it is always trial and error and enjoying your mistakes, you have to have some balls if you dare to do this with an audience... Thumbs up for Clay Patrick! I have to say though, this light assistant really is annoying... Anybody agree's with me?

I found Clay's classes and teaching style worked very well for me. For example, Clay's method of first testing one light in a multiple light set-up and the adding the other lights one-by-one was great. I recommend this class for anyone working to add different lighting styles to their work.

Great class if you're wanting to learn how to work with gels! This class will take you through the process step by step as you build your shooting playbook. I enjoyed Clay's honest and simple approach. Clay and his assistant, Chris, make a great team as they show how gels work and show you what not to do. They make learning fun!

If I had purchased this class prior to actually seeing it, I would be very upset. The presenter seemed rather helpless and his assistant did most of the work. His delivery was, in my opinion, sadly lacking. Due to the fact that I was a lighting designer for theater, I was hoping to get much more out of this class than actually happened.

Enjoying every minute of this class.
