Hello Charles,
You asked about my project. I am photographing Nepali (Newari)
metal craftsmen who work with the lost wax process for metalwork. Most of
the locations are very poorly lit with some very bright areas where the sun
is shining in. I never usually use a flash but this lighting is rather
extreme and I would like to light up the shadows a little.
