I had an honest chat with photographer Hannah Couzens, a Profoto and Sony Ambassador, during this live broadcast, and this is the recording. We talked about her process for taking portraits, how she approaches lighting and how she gets the very best out of a portrait session. Hannah also shared some of the challenges that come with being a modern-day studio photographer, which made for a really open and useful conversation.
