Rotovision The Studio Photographers Lighting Bible

This new book explores lighting through the working relationships of the studio photographer, and the skills and techniques used for lighting in other disciplines. Covering commercial, practical, technical and creative issues, it identifies how studio photographers can work successfully with other professionals, what skills they can learn from related fields, and how they can use these to benefit their own work. In our view it is a great practical aid to showing you how to set up your studio shots and exactly what equipment you need to achieve that successful shoot.

To do this it uses actual finished images, backed up with clear 3-dimensional lighting set-up diagrams, which are then presented as case studies. To make this more real life, a story line from product brief to final image gives you solid practical knowledge and reveals successful working methods. These cover creative and technical issues, unusual techniques, tools and equipment, props, and accessories. Instances in which the requirements for digital and film photography differ are highlighted and key features and considerations, including postproduction issues, are noted.

Subject matter covered in the 256 colour page paperback includes portraits, pets, food and drink, pack shots and still life. Highly recommended.
