How to make the artificial light look natural
It’s an absolute rush of joy whenever I see a new video on Joanie’s Channel! I got the opportunity of interviewing her for my Real People, Real Stories series a while back.
You can read it here.
In this video, she talks about how you can make artificial light look like natural light which is a BIG PLUS!
Since you won’t be dependent on the continuously fluctuating daylight anymore.

That’s when learning how to use artificial light came in handy.
