Light Matters: A Photographer's Guide to Lighting with Flash On Location
The job of a photographer is to lasso the wind, catch lightning in a bottle, and perform miracles small and large on a daily basis. It's an endless exercise in control, reaction and letting go...a dance that results in images that push creative boundaries. The use of flash gives photographers their own lightning in a bottle—that powerful edge that allows them greater control in any situation and helps them to adapt to the vagaries inherent in location photography. Light Matters: The Photographer’s Guide to Lighting with Flash on Location is full of practical information helpful to anyone looking to take their location photography to the next level through the use of flash. It's a non-technical look inside the brain of a working professional photographer that will teach you how to visualize and create images with flash, how to work with clients and subjects and to grow your skills. Brian Fitzgerald is a busy commercial, editorial and advertising photographer and creator of the Maine Light Workshop. He worked as an award-winning staff photojournalist, reporter and photo editor for 16 years. In Light Matters, Brian discusses real-world scenarios and approaches. While studio photographers can control every aspect of lighting, location photographers don’t have that luxury—especially when constantly on the move in dynamic, changing environments where resourcefulness and creativity are prerequisites for success. How do you emerge from a challenging location shoot looking like a hero? In Light Matters, Brian discusses his approach to using flash on the go, and gives practical advice on how to maximize the gear you have to do the best job for yourself and your clients—no matter what happens. Light Matters will provide you with tips, exercises and the perspective you need to boost your location flash skills and stretch your creative and technical abilities. If you own at least one DSLR and one flash, and find yourself in varied environments taking photos that could benefit from better application of flash, then Light Matters is for you. It’s a guide for the working, thinking, location photographer.
