My latest DVD, Portrait Lighting Techniques, produced by Calumet Photographic, has been selling well, and is available for $29.99 from the
Calumet
website.
Here is the link: http://www.calumetphoto.com/item/CE9907.html?type=QUICKPICKS
This comprehensive educational and instructional DVD on lighting is an hour long and packed with information. Subjects include:
- Posing techniques for headshots, 3/4, and full length
- Grooming and corrective techniques
- Lighting patterns
- Names and uses of lights
- Placement of lights
- How strobes work
- Metering techniques with strobes and incident meters
- Selecting the proper light modifier
- Umbrellas, beauty dishes, Fresnel, soft boxes, and grid spots
- Lighting for the mood
- 1, 2, and 3 light setups
- Balancing strobe and ambient light
In the DVD, I light three models with different skin types; two women and one man, in a variety of settings, from soft and beautiful, to dramatic and moody. One of the great features of this DVD is that when I photograph the model, the RAW file of the image capture is displayed, so you can freeze the frame and review all of the information immediately. At the end of each section, the lighting equipment used for that setup is shown.
There is no fluff in this DVD, just useful and relevant information. This DVD enables you to put this knowledge to practical use right away and create stronger and more effective portraits.
In the future, this page will consist of images from the DVD with descriptions, plus more lighting techniques. There will be lots of information that will help you become a better photographer. Please check back in a month or so, and this page will be greatly expanded.
Enjoy the DVD!
