Overview

Christopher Grey takes you beyond the basics of lighting and shows you the tricks professionals use to create more visually complex effects. Some “tricks” are complex strategies that rely on a thorough understanding of the physics of light, but more are simply inventive solutions that make it surprisingly easy to produce a very sophisticated result. Each chapter teaches you one technique, explaining the concept on which it is based, demonstrating the set up step by step, and revealing the amazing final results. Working through the image design process for each image, Grey teaches you to creatively use accent lights, subtractive lighting, shutter drag, double main lights, and much more. Both studio and location shoots are included. If you are ready to take your lighting to the next level and begin creating more refined results, this is the book for you!
