Photographic lighting is a topic that will never go out of style, no matter how sophisticated cameras and other technology get.

Featuring photographs, diagrams, and step-by-step instructions, this book speaks to photographers of varying levels.

This new edition includes: • Expanded chapters on portraiture and lighting equipment • Chapters on necessary equipment when working on location versus in the studio • An updated appendix of reliable photo gear sources • Over 100 new photographs and informational sidebars • Updated information about advances in flash equipment, LED panels, and fluorescent lights Lighting styles will evolve, but the science of light will always remain the same.
