My new book, Basic Lighting For Portrait Photography, has just been released. I believe this is an important learning guide for any photographer interested in better lighting. It’s been designed to quickly walk you through several lessons which will allow you to create sophisticated lighting from day one, and you’ll learn more each step of the way. You can start from anywhere in the book and use any of the setups right away, but I suggest going through each chapter in order, learning a fundamental technique and building upon it as you progress through the book.
Each setup, each example adds more to your understanding of professional photographic lighting. The text is straight to the point without the verbiage and discussion of lighting theory of other books. The lighting diagrams I’ve created are so easy to understand you’ll get it the moment you see it! More info is available here: Basic Lighting For Portrait Photography.
Lots of helpful diagrams. I believe my 3D diagrams are among the best, and easiest to understand, in photography instruction.
I’ll show you how to use simple light to get impressive results right away.
You’ll see what works, and how to create it yourself. Straight, out-of-camera examples.

I’m proud to announce that I’ve recently co-authored and released a new book for the hugely popular David Busch series of photography guides. David Busch’s Guide to Canon Flash Photography is a comprehensive reference for any photographer interested in working with the Canon flash system.
