Getting back to professional photographers, I
took this picture of a model in a professional stu-
dio. The lighting is OK, but in this example, it’s
not as creative as the lighting you can get with a
basic three-light kit. Sure, I could have created
more dramatic lighting. I am simply trying to
show you that bigger and more expensive are not
always better.
I took this picture of my niece, Brook, with a
one-light-and-reflector setup. I used a $9 piece of
black cloth as my background. Professional back-
grounds, like the ones I used in the preceding pic-
tures, can cost $200 or more.
