Patrick Ciatto at PTO - what camera do you use?

Florida based Patrick Ciatto gave us a welcome masterclass at Photo Training Overseas in Egypt.

He ran through and demonstrated the 5 main ways of lighting portraits in a flattering way and then showed how to position groups so that eveyone looked their best. He showed us at what angle to hold the camera and what to ask the group to say to guarantee a smile. And no, it wasn't 'cheese'.

He told us that when he's asked what sort of camera he uses, he says 'a black one'. That really sums it up. Given the photographer is a professional, why do you need to know? The title of his talk was 'The camera never had an idea'.

And that's why we were all sitting listening to him
