In today’s video we talk about Creative Lighting techniques for Car Photography – and we do a full Light Painting Tutorial how to shoot and edit. Lighting painting is a great way to make your car photography stand out. I’m using the Aputure 120D to do the light painting and I am really happy with the results.
