Book description
In 2009, photographer Dustin Diaz began a “365
project,” the goal of which is to shoot and share one picture
per day for a year. Not only did Diaz actually complete the
project–an achievement in and of itself–he consistently
shared both the final image and the behind-the-scenes setup shot
for that image, allowing the viewer to see how the shot was
arranged. He also included information about exposure, flash power,
distance, and light modifiers. The project was a huge hit that
attracted thousands of followers. This Is Strobist® Info
recreates and expands upon this approach by featuring an image
alongside a setup shot that helpfully explains how that image was
created. By showing the finished pictures as well as the setup
shots for 50 of Diaz’s images, you’ll gain tons of
knowledge about the basics–and beyond–of flash
photography, including everything from simple one-light shots to
images created with five lights and numerous gels, clamps,
umbrellas, softboxes, and grids. Additionally, This Is
Strobist® Info includes two chapters that guide you through
the basics of starting your own lighting kit and explain the
important but often-misunderstood inverse square law.
