This lighting manual shows that successful studio photography does not require a warehouse-sized space brimming with expensive lights, Hollywood-style facades, and a half-dozen assistants making the client lattes. Rather, this guide shows photographers how to create studio lighting effects that range from clean and classic to highly complex and use a garage, spare bedroom, or even a backyard as their 'studio.' The simple setups show that one to three small, inexpensive electronic flashunits-along with budget-friendly stands, communication systems, and some do-it-yourself light modifiers-can be combined to create brilliant studio-quality images without the studio. Numerous sample shoots and plans provide clear instructions for taking control of any environment to create spectacular images. | Studio Lighting Unplugged by Rod Deutschmann, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
