Affordable lighting setups that can dramatically improve your images
Photography is all about light. Making a dramatic, compelling image often comes down to how effective the photographer is at using the available light.
You’ve reached a point in your photography where you feel that shoe-mount flash just won’t cut it anymore.
Now that you own a DSLR with HD video, it’s time to look beyond existing lights and speedlights, at ways that you can light the shot yourself for still and motion.
If you’re ready to step up from handheld flashes to more powerful and accessory-ready, studio-style strobes, consider monolights.
Mastering the tools to control light is one of the most effective ways to improve your skills as a photographer.
I spend much of my year traveling the globe creating images, from shooting editorial assignments in remote Honduran jungles to teaching photo workshops in the shifting sands of the Gobi Desert.
When you buy a D-SLR, you’re choosing more than just a camera—you’re selecting a system of lenses and accessories, as well.
Whether you’re shooting portraits, still lifes or even eBay product shots, the subtlest changes in lighting can have a profound impact on the final image, and studio lighting kits offer more than subtle changes—they offer complete control.
