Studio Lighting Essentials for Portrait Photography



To learn studio lighting start here... Worth Every Penny!!
This is the best video for studio lighting that I have yet to find. The coverage of the basics is complete and easy to understand. The animated illustrations explaining the details were very helpful. Added insights such as meter placement and correct usage were very helpful as well. I have been attempting studio lighting for about 2 years now. If I had had this dvd, I would have saved an enormous amount of money and a lot of frustration.

It is concise, precise, thoughtful and well written. Simplification of details with animated illustrations make this an excellent resource. It should be on all beginners lists for studio lighting.

After you are done with this DVD.. Go get the 2 DVD sets from Scott Kelby! You will be ready to start lighting in the studio.

Informercial
This DVD fealt like more of a long infomercial for Profoto then an instructional course,at times. Then I laughed at the end of the DVD, when the credits
rolled by, and all the gear was provided by them. Most average pro level photographers cant afford all the gear that was advertised here, but
the DVD was beneficial none the less.

Lighting DVD
I rated this high because I thought it provided a great overall look at the hardware available for the studio and provided a light technical overview. I have looked at other programs, such as the Dean Collins series, which was highly technical but didn't offer information about hardware availability. Hope this helps you.
