In today's video, photographer Ab Sesay dives deep into 3 shutter drag techniques. These techniques involve zooming the lens, moving the camera, and simply capturing the movement of your subject. Using Profoto studio strobes for flash and Nanlite Forza continuous lights, he can dial in the perfect amount of shutter drag and motion blur. He also teaches how to use a light meter to more quickly dial in your shutter drag.

Ab currently resides in the NY area and enjoys working on productions both large and small with ideas both simple and complex.

As a multidisciplinary commercial advertising photographer, and creative producer/director who blends the ability to analyze ideas, technology, and resources to educate those interested in upping their lighting game on how to get to the next level.

He is also the Brand manager for Sekonic Light Meters, Executive Producer and Creative Director for the Mac Group, independent producer/photographer, and develops lighting education for AdoramaTV (LEVEL UP LIGHTING SHOW), Sekonic, and Fujifilm.
