“In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary.”
Trill Imagery: Hey, how you doing? Jeff Tse: Hi. My name Jeff Tse. I’m shooting here at FD Photo Studios. Toma Kostygina: I love shooting indoors because I love to create my own sets, and I don’t want to be bothered. I like to take my time. Trill Imagery: It’s funny because I started off doing strobe lights. I was all about shooting strobes, and I kind of started branching away from shooting artificial light. I kind of like the whole natural light field now. I love natural light. Natural light, you can’t beat natural light, and I just like the way that it looks and shows in photos more so with artificial light. Artificial light comes into play, definitely, but yeah. Natural light is definitely my thing. Jeff Tse: So I use both strobes and natural light, and I find them equally good depending on what you’re trying to accomplish. So with strobes, you obviously, can get exactly what you want. It’s a very controlled environment, and you can replicate a situation no matter where you are in one place, New York, LA, anywhere else. I think you can get the same exact look. Whereas, natural light, it’s a celebration of the environment that you’re in so in that sense, that’s the strong part. When you’re using natural light, you can really take advantage of not just the subject in front of you but how they incorporate into the background and into their environment, their surroundings, and that also paints a story as well besides just having a blank canvas back in the studio environment. Attila Adam: It is your job as a photographer to make a space work so if you are given a corner or given that street corner or out in the field, I think it’s your job to look, assess, and make it work and then come up with ideas and still create good work with what is given to you.
