Using Colored Gels in Your Photographs: Adding Impact and Panashe to your Images

You will see a series of live coloured gel shoots that I have done with a model.
I will explain what gels are and how to use them effectively.
It is a very simple technique.
You can do it indoors, outdoors and with any subject
You can use any light source including the sun.
When we want to manipulate the colours in our photographs we often use gels.
Sheets of plastic glass or other transparent materials of various colours used to change the colour of light
You can use gels on location (outdoors) at night or in subdued light or you can use them.
A darker environment is best so that the coloured gels will have maximum effect.
You can use hard light or soft light. You can even combine gels with other techniques such as light painting, long exposures or double exposures.
