About the Book

175 Full color images START SPENDING LESS TIME HAULING EQUIPMENT AND MORE TIME BEHIND THE CAMERA Photographers who shoot on location with traditional studio lighting equipment may spend more time packing and porting their expensive equipment than designing beautiful lighting. Fortunately, Kirk Tuck has found a better way. Using small, computerized, battery-powered flash units and lightweight accessories, Tuck shows you how to get the top-quality results you want —and arrive on location with more energy and a better ability to focus on creative problem solving. Packed with incredible images and step-by-step techniques, this book is a must for commercial, wedding, and portrait photographers who want to maximize their time behind the camera and minimize their time spent hauling cumbersome lighting equipment. FEATURES: •Choosing digital flash equipment, controllers, and power sources •Tips for using small flash units for maximum effect when lighting people indoors and out •Light modifiers for softer lighting effects •Blending flash with existing light for more natural-looking effects •Accurately controlling color temperatures to minimize post production corrections "There are lots of books on light and lighting. But to my knowledge, this is the first one that specifically addresses so much of what you can do with small flashes while shooting in a corporate/editorial style...This is a book for photographers who want to learn how to light clean and corporate, without buying (or hauling around) a ton of lighting gear." -Strobist ABOUT THE AUTHOR Kirk Tuck was a specialist lecturer in photography at the University of Texas before being lured into the world of advertising photography, where he served for seven years as the creative director for Avanti Advertising and Design. Today, he is a freelance photographer whose clients include IBM, Dell COmputer, Motorola, Elle magazine, and Time Warner

Review :
"The beauty of this book is how much information is packed into 122 pages of content. And yet the information and explanations are deep enough to give the reader an understanding of the subject in order to start experimenting with it." --robmalgieri.com "Richly illuminated with location portraits and a few still lifes, and written in a clean down-to-earth style." --ppmag.com "I wanted to do a shoot using just the sunlight outside my studio. No electronic flashes, no multiple light sources, and no large studio flashes." --Kirk Tuck, "Studio Photography" "Pure gold, showing real solutions to real lighting situations and along the way creating some of the most natural-looking on-location portraits." --"Shutterbug" "This is a quiet book full of information, but bubbling with the kind of energy that is created when you realize you can do what you thought you couldn't." --Lighting Essentials.com
