Creating a Mystical Landscape With LEE Filters

16/06/2024

I'm a big believer in getting the shot right in camera, says LEE Filters ambassador Jordan Banks. In this video, he guides viewers through his process as he journeys into Snowdonia National Park in Wales to photograph the Roman Bridge. Banks artfully combines LEE ND, ND grad and polarizer filters to bring out the setting's natural vibrancy and enhance its mystical, ethereal quality.
