New Video from Fletch Murray

Man, Fletch Murray is a video making machine! In his newest video, Fletch discusses Rembrandt lighting, what it is, how to set it up, and how to use it. As it turns out, lighting your scene or shoot the same way as legendary Dutch painters isn’t all that difficult. All you need is a north facing window, fabric (Black Velon Taffeta and Old Master Brown Background) and , and a model. Not too complicated right? You might need to bust out a compass (or compass app), but the entire AYP family has confidence that you can follow Fletch’s tips and create beautiful lighting.
