Based in Hobart and servicing the state of Tasmania, Devaka Seneviratne works on all things commercial, small business, portrait and everything in between.  He has extensive experience shooting for large international conglomerates and fastidious art directors gaining knowledge in a wide genre of photographic disciplines.

Hailing from Sri Lanka, Devaka (or Dave, as he invited us to call him) entered the trade as a scriptwriter and documentary producer in 1999, and onto stills photography in the early '00s, conducting shoots across India, Bangladesh and the Maldives. His specialty was shooting for the luxury hospitality market in South Asia as well as a documentary of post-conflict resettlement and recovery in Sri Lanka — two areas at polar opposites to each other.

In this episode, Adam and Dave discuss light, continuing the conversation he started with Lizzy Allnut last session. This time they look at the skill of understanding light, studio lighting and modern lighting techniques that actually started with master artists, well before photography was invented.

Now, over to Adam.
