Vintage Aviation and 30s Shoot in an Abandoned Wind Tunnel Workshop

Another workshop, led by professional portrait photographer Andrew Mason, in Farnborough

As the workshop went on, I had the opportunity to work with model Liza Rdqueen and encountered familiar challenges similar to those I experienced with Chris Wilson in the previous post. Working in groups meant sharing a Profoto flash unit, so whenever the transmitter was with another team member, I switched to Profoto’s continuous light to keep shooting. This demanded constant adjustment, since camera settings for flash and continuous lighting differ significantly—using a higher ISO for continuous light and a lower ISO for flash. Although the resulting images were impressive, maintaining consistency in post-processing required careful, individual edits to unify the look and reinforce the theme across all photos.
