When I’m (Lee) sitting at my desk and Eif is working in the Creative Hub with someone on a 1:1 or in a small group I always hear a certain conversation…

“Eif, I have an idea of an image I’d like to try and replicate/recreate – could you show me how please”

The answer is ALWAYS the same…

“Of course we can – this is your time to experiment, learn and play with your camera settings and lighting techniques”
