Whether it's available light or artificial light, taking control of the light is essential to creating the images you envision. Learning to use light modifiers, and understanding the different qualities of light they produce, is a key to achieving that objective. In this book, lighting guru Allison Earnest provides detailed discussions of light modifiers for studio strobes and electronic flash. Ample illustrations show you the effects of a variety of modifiers and how simply changing modifiers changes the entire look of the image.
