Publisher's Synopsis
In Studio Anywhere 2: Hard Light, photographer and author Nick Fancher builds on the success of his previous book (Studio Anywhere: A Photographer's Guide to Shooting in Unconventional Locations) as he continues to offer candid, practical, and valuable lessons on how to create successful and fresh photographs armed with only minimal gear. a resourceful mind, and a creative spirit. The heart and soul of Studio Anywhere 2: Hard Light resemble its predecessor. but this time Nick focuses his approach on hard light. demonstrating how to use it in innovative and flattering ways. working with subjects ranging from products to people. Included in the book are behind-the-scenes photos. lighting diagrams. and Lightroom settings for every scenario. so the reader can follow along from idea through the shoot and on to the final edit. There is also a feature throughout the book called 'Making a Scene' where. upon being presented with an "empty" scene. you're challenged to figure out where you might place your subject and your light(s) in order to achieve a specific effect or result. to tackle each scenario. The goal is to train yourself to look at the everyday, commonplace, locations and scenarios you encounter and begin to see them full of photographic potential.
