Portraits Unplugged
You don't need expensive lights to shoot great portraits, just an understanding of how to use available light. In Portraits Unplugged, Bobbi Lane shows how the beauty of available light is everywhere, and perfect for creating wonderful images. Any time of day and any situation can be turned into a great opportunity for stunning portraits.

Portrait Lighting Techniques, a one-hour instructional DVD is full of essential lighting techniques and information that will help you create more effective and meaningful portraits immediately.
Comprehensive subject matter includes: lighting patterns, quality of light with boxes, grids, fresnells, umbrellas and beauty dishes, posing from headshots to full-length, and balancing strobe and ambient light.

Creative Techniques for Color Photography, an informative how-to book written and photographed by Bobbi Lane is published by Amherst Media. For content information and ordering details, click here.
