"Stuck in your comfort zone with natural light?
You know what? Now is the time to push yourself a little bit harder..."

That's Vanessa Joy's opening comment in this Tiny Talks video from ProfotoUSA. Every one of these short videos has maximum content and value in minimum time. Obviously you're not going to become a great artist just watching three minute videos, or any videos for that matter - you've got to get hands-on experience and constantly practice.

Your goal is to become so good at seeing the light and understanding your gear you don't worry about getting the shot, only how to match the final image to the vision in your mind's eye. Every artist in our industry, no matter how legendary they've become are always work in progress.

Vanessa Joy is a remarkable artist and educator. She's no stranger to SCU. Check out her "Why?" image shared a year ago. Then click on any of the favorite images I've pulled from her galleries to visit her website to see more of her work. And, if she's teaching a workshop any place close to you, run, don't walk to get a seat!

Vanessa's a diehard when it comes to never compromising on the quality of her images and especially the lighting she uses. If you haven't checked out Profoto's Off-Camera Flash System yet, what are you waiting for? Visit a Profoto dealer or rental house and take the system out for a test drive!
