Book description
In Run and Gun: One-Light Solutions for Commercial and Portrait
Photographers, photographer Nick Fancher discusses more than 20
one-light photo scenarios and setups for both portraits and
product/commercial work, showing finished images as well lighting
diagrams as he discusses each photograph. This ebook was written
for the photographer who has just picked up a flash and has the
ability to trigger it from somewhere other than the top of their
camera. It does not cover the buttons and dials of your camera or
flash, but instead Nick quickly and efficiently discusses different
kinds of photographs you can accomplish with your newly acquired
flash–images such as a portraits and product shots created
with soft light, hard light, with a colored (gelled) fill light,
and much more. Additionally, he covers using your flash to
overpower the sun, as well as how to creatively use a slower
shutter speed to create powerful aesthetic effects in your images.
Finally, Nick shares a series of product shots he created as a
self-assignment to further develop his own lighting, editing, and
styling skills. After reading and working through Run and Gun,
you'll be armed with ideas and techniques to head out and create
similar images with your newly acquired flash.
