Photographic Lighting Equipment by Kirk Tuck, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

From flashlights and top-of-the-line studio electronic flashes to light stands and battery/inverter packs, this all-encompassing survey evaluates the vast array of lighting and equipment options available to professional photographers.

In addition to identifying the wide range of gear currently on the market-as well as those photographers may devise on their own-this reference examines the pros and cons of the various technologies and provides suggestions for their most practical use. Photographs of the equipment surveyed as well as real-life images created with the different pieces of equipment are interspersed throughout the text. Other helpful hints include tips formaximizing versatility, investment in each piece of equipment, and a 'Top-Ten Must-Have List.' | Photographic Lighting Equipment by Kirk Tuck, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
