Rick Sammon's DVD Guide to Basic Lighting and Portraiture

Seeing the light is one of the major keys to getting a good exposure. If you learn how to see the light - the highlights and shadows in the scene, the contrast and color, the subject's and the background's brightness, and even the movement of light - you will become a better photographer by making better exposure decisions. In this DVD, Rick Sammon shows aspiring photographers when to control the light using a reflector, a diffuser, or a flash. He also teaches viewers that when the light is not right in certain locations, they'll need to move the subject or change the composition of a photograph. Topics in this DVD include:
