From flashlights and top-of-the-line studio electronic flashes to light stands
and battery/inverter packs, this all-encompassing survey evaluates the vast array of
lighting and equipment options available to professional photographers. Beginning with
a basic history of the role of lighting equipment and the interplay between advances
in capture and lighting technologies, the emphasis then shifts to advances made within
the past five years that have enabled photographers to consider more low-powered and
cost effective options than ever before. In addition to identifying the wide range of
gear currently on the market as well as those photographers may devise on their own this
reference examines the pros and cons of the various technologies and provides suggestions
for their most practical use. Photographs of the equipment surveyed as well as real-life
images created with the different pieces of equipment are interspersed throughout the text.
Other helpful hints include tips for maximising versatility, investment in each piece of
equipment, and a Top-Ten Must-Have List..
