Learn all three aspects of what it takes to create stunning
portraits--lighting, shooting, and retouching!
Scott Kelby, the #1 best-selling author of photography technique books
and Editor-in-Chief of Photoshop User magazine, has reinvented how
flash lighting books are written by finally revealing the entire process
from start to finish. You see everything from the complete flash and
softbox setup (including all the gear used), to the shoot (including all
the camera and flash settings), to the all-important part that most
books don't dare include--the post-processing and retouching in
Lightroom and Photoshop.
This book also breaks new ground in the visual way it teaches you
exactly how and where to set up your flash. There aren't any sketches or
drawings--you see the actual lighting setup, taken from above during the
live shoot, so you can see exactly where everything's positioned (the
subject, the photographer, the lighting, the background, you name
it--you see it all). Plus, you'll see side, over-the-shoulder, and more
behind-the-scenes views (with all the exact measurements), so you can
absolutely nail the lighting every time.
Scott has trained thousands of photographers during his Light It. Shoot
It. Retouch It. LIVE! seminar tour and he's taken that incredibly
popular style of learning and put it into book form. Now you can have a
real-world reference for getting the same looks today's clients are
clamoring for. You'll learn:
And, the entire book is written in Scott's trademark casual,
step-by-step, plain-English style. There's never been a book like it and
you're going to love the results you get from it.
