In this Adorama TV shoot, Ab Sesay braves the cold and wind to share his best tips for shooting in freezing conditions. From shooting with natural light to the crazy idea of using a parabolic reflector in the wind, Ab offers practical advice and real-life lessons from the set.
Learn how to manage your gear in the cold, how to keep your model warm, and how to simplify your setups when the weather isn’t on your side. Plus, I learned from model McKenna how she stayed fresh through it all. Get ready for a fun, informative, and challenging behind-the-scenes look at shooting in cold weather!
Ab currently resides in the NY area and enjoys working on productions, both large and small, with ideas that are 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.
