              Mike Folden Shoots An Album Cover

              I’ve had some great BTS videos piling up here so I am going to post them all now. Check out the video below where Mike Folden shoots an album cover for “The Resume”.

                Great work Mike, love seeing what people can do with grids having recently started to use them. The shots work really well in telling the story and setting the scenes.

                Nice work bro…The lighting in the office really expresses the mood and how serious the shot was. Really like the shot of him looking at the building he’s about to go into.. Congrats!

                Thanks guys! It was my first time using these grids and I’m super glad I picked them up. They really let you hone in on where you want the light. I used speedlights for years so when I moved to the AB’s and WL’s, I had to get used to the light spread.

                I really appreciate the feedback!
