Synopsis: An indispensable lighting reference you’ll refer to again and again
 
Photography is all about light, yet light remains one of the most confusing and intimidating topics for amateur photographers. The Photographer’s Lighting Toolbox is a complete introduction to lighting principles, gear, and techniques, including:

   • the basics of exposure: metering, bracketing, exposure value, depth of field, and more
   • gear and techniques associated with the four main types of light: natural light, modified light, continuous light, and flash illumination
   • setups for a variety of lighting scenarios, from simple to complex, with foolproof diagrams showing what to put where 
 
With easy-to-grasp explanations of complex lighting concepts, clear lighting diagrams, and a thorough review of all the gear you’ll need, this is an indispensable reference for photographers of all levels interested in using light for more professional results.
