eCourse on DVD: Lighting on Location

Photography is all about light! And photographers are often asked to photograph a variety of subjects on location. These assignments can range from portraits on location to manufacturing facilities, building interiors, products, and much more. Clients may ask you to photograph their business including their people, their products, and their processes.  

Photographing on location creates a new set of challenges to the professional photographer. Working in the studio can be accomplished with a small space and some lights, but working on location often requires you to work in larger environments and presents technical challenges not present in the studio. Lots of thought, creativity, and photographic skill go into making location photographs portray our client’s products and services in the best light. 

There are lots of lighting techniques, tips, and tricks that you can use to create effective images on location. If you want to specialize in location photography, do you have the skills and techniques to do that? Do you understand Lighting Color Management? That's different than Photoshop color management and is crucial to capturing the best image files. Lighting on location is a very complex subject and any successful photographer will tell you that lighting is one of the most important aspects of great photographs.   

Do you know how to light a portrait in a manufacturing facility and blend your strobe lights with the ceiling lights? Do you know how to light a large machine or a room interior?  Do you know what light modifier to use for lighting metal or how to use a color meter? Can you correctly place highlights to make a giant machine look incredible? Each and every one of these questions will be answered in this eCourse.
 
The PDF lesson includes examples of shoots often showing lighting placement diagrams and the strategy used to capture the best possible shot. The lesson is written in an easy to understand text and amply illustrated with color photos. If you are serious about owning location photography, this course will pay for itself a hundred times over!
