Tom Kennedy and Natural Lighting

During our visit we spent an hour or so with Tom Kennedy, who is a freelance photographer who works with the Jersey Heritage to produce living portraits of the actors at the various heritage sights. He showed us how to co-operate with your subject and also how to use tools to adjust lighting and create more depth to your photo.
