Publisher Description
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 flash units—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.

Great beginner book for small flash home studio lighting!
If you are the types who likes learning by doing and likes a teacher who teaches you that way, then this book is the best out there for those of you venturing into home studio photography! The beauty of this book lies in the authors having a clear understanding of their target audience - amateur photographers with an extra flash or two and without much of studio gear or space, but still interested in the possibilities of off camera flash lighting. Rod & Robin guide you through understanding your flash, experimenting with it in the comfort of your home, adding more flashes and shaping light, building cheap and super easy diy studio gear for amazing portraits, and when you are finally confident, take you into the outside world - all of this with little theory and lot of simple fun exercises! I thank Rod & Robin & their patient family for this labor of love!
