Triangle of Light for any Venue with Bob Davis

Putting the sparkle in your reception lighting with off-camera flash.  Bob has developed a method he calls the "Triangle of Light," for all of his receptions, and he is going to share it with you.  The "Triangle of Light" adds sparkle to receptions giving your images depth and dimension by creating light and shadows not the flat light that you get by using on-camera bounce flash.
