Publisher's Synopsis
Professional photographer Stephen Dantzig offers a more specific and detailed look at using this essential portrait lighting tool. Other manuals only offer an overview of softbox applications amidst a discussion of general lighting tools and strategies. Here, Dantzig teaches readers to create simple, yet highly effective lighting techniques using a single light source as well as bringing a second light source to amplify their creative and technical control. Readers benefit from a three-pronged approach that combines how-to text, lighting diagrams and a final image.
