Welcome back to "Wednesdays with Westcott," a new SCU series to help you expand your creativity and raise the bar on the quality of your images.

Timing is everything! With a new episode of "Why?" airing last Friday which featured an incredible image by Jerry Ghionis using the lighting gear he designed, the Ice Light, this short video demonstrates another creative application. Jerry's vision behind the product from the beginning was a must-have portable light source that maximized creativity in virtually any imaging situation.

Even though Jerry and I have been friends for close to twenty years, I forgot the creative genius behind the camera and the way he can visualize an image and then go to work capturing what he's imagined. 

Looking a lot like Luke Skywalker's lightsaber from Starwars, it's the perfect tool to battle the challenges of boring images and push your creativity beyond the restrictions of conventional lighting and posing. As a professional photographer today you're dealing with stiff competition. It's so important to capture and create images that demonstrate why you're not like other photographers or the work they're presenting.

Thanks to Jerry and Westcott, here's a tool that needs to be with you on every assignment. And, on Westcott's YouTube channel, working together with Jerry they've created a complete series of Ice Light videos, each one loaded with content and a mini-workshop in photographic technique!

There are twelve short videos in the series, all of them utilizing the Ice Light in a different application! Check them out - you won't be disappointed.

May the force be with you!

If you haven't visited the Westcott U website, check it out. It's loaded with great content covering virtually every area of photography. And, their YouTube channel is chocked full with 369 videos to help you become the very best photographer you can be. It's all just a click away on the WU logo below

Used this today, with the clients holding it behind, to create some soft rim-lighting. Who better than the designer to teach the best ways of using this amazing tool?
