Good lighting is everything in portraiture. The right light sculpts our subjects, smooths the skin, evens skin tones, and helps create the feeling of a third dimension in a two-dimensional image. The gold standard of lighting has, for the better part of a century, been produced by artificial lights (hot lights or strobes) in the studio. These sources allow for precise lighting effects on demand. However, artificial light cannot match the beauty or ambience that gorgeous natural light creates—and studio lighting can break the bank. In part 1 of this book, Carl Caylor introduces readers to a failproof method for understanding, shaping, and harnessing natural light for dazzling results that rival studio-lighting looks. Using your powers of observation, an understanding of the physics of light, and employing a couple of inexpensive tools (reflector panels to bounce light and a gobo to block light), Caylor shows you how to make the most of the sunlight for indoor and outdoor location shoots—and even studio work. You’ll learn how to tweak the direction of light and manipulate lighting angles to re-create classic portrait lighting styles—short lighting, broad lighting, Rembrandt lighting, and more—that flatter and contour your subjects’ facial structures to make them look their very best. In part 2 of the book, Carl provides an in-depth analysis into the techniques he used to create 60 beautiful natural-light portraits in myriad locations and circumstances, producing a wide range of portrait looks. Readers will learn how to integrate other elements that are important to building an effective portrait—including prop selection, wardrobe, composition, expression, posing, and even planning for a top-notch, contrasty black & white shot. The text in this book, along with inspirational images, will coax many readers to enjoy a “back to basics” approach that will allow them to produce technically exquisite and profoundly artful, flattering portraits that will sell themselves to clients every time.

In photography, every decision, creative and technical, rides on achieving a good exposure. When shooting portraits or products, landscapes or architecture, we must control our camera’s settings to ensure that just the right amount of light is allowed into the camera. When we strike the right balance in our exposure, we have a full range of tones, from pure white to deep blacks. We have rich visual detail. We have a sense of dimension. The colors and tones and contrast in our images weave the visual story of our subject and scene in a way that visually computes. As a result, we see just the image we strove to create, rendered perfectly in a way that satisfies our creative vision. In this book, Mark Chen shows you how to take full control over the science of exposure, providing you with the foundational skill-set you need to maximize your artistic vision.

Sikh weddings are vibrant, ritual-steeped events that can stretch on for days. Each wedding is unique and unforgettable. Photographing them is a joy and a challenge: there are countless facets to photograph — and many moments seeped in meaning and tradition. Documenting can’t-miss moments as they unfold requires a comprehensive understanding of the elements of the wedding, from start to finish. Sohal teaches readers the ins and outs of photographing the Sikh wedding. He offers general guidelines — greetings to use with men versus those to use with women — and moves on to share some pointers regarding general expectations the family will have of the photographer (e.g., never refuse food — that would be impolite; expect to take far more family photos than you may be accustomed to). Next, he describes the major events of the wedding and explains the significance of each. With easy to digest text and gorgeous illustrations, this book is not to be missed.

In 1977, at age twenty-four, Fred Mollin co-produced a record that became one of the most successful ballads in pop music history. How do you follow that? Unplugged answers that question with a journey through a musical and creative life well-lived. The adventures in Mollin’s memoirs, the disclosure of previously untold behind-the-scenes stories, and the incredible array of personalities who make these tales so rich, is a fascinating, humorous, educational, no-holds-barred, and inspiring story. Unplugged is more than a memoir. It is a book that recounts a life and untold stories from a musical career that involves the world of record production and film composing, spanning over fifty years and counting. Told with humility and humor, Fred Mollin’s journey among so many legends and fascinating people and projects, gives the reader a chance to see behind closed doors. Book Review 1: “There is no one like Fred Mollin. A mastermind of the music industry with talent and expertise that will go down in history books. Diving into his stories is like stepping into an inspirational time machine: Hearing how many of our industry’s “greats” were made straight from their inception, all while getting a lesson in what it takes to take this industry by the reins and blaze into success.” —Kristin Chenoweth, Acclaimed Tony and Emmy Award-winning singer and actress Book Review 2: “A terrific memoir from an extraordinary musician, producer, composer, and man whose talent has graced every corner of the business. Fred Mollin is a masterful raconteur who careens through years in New York, Toronto, LA and Nashville like a rollercoaster riding on rails of wit and sass. This is a seriously funny, star filled book, from a man who has been there, done that, and has stories to tell.” —James Parriott, executive producer/writer Grey’s Anatomy, Ugly Betty, Forever Knight Book Review 3: “Iconic record producer, Fred Mollin, shares his personal journey. A journal that does a great job of illuminating the not so widely known, yet universal aspects of the ever changing chess game that is the music industry. It’s a wonderfully insightful look at a time that holds a lot of wonderful musical memories for many of us.” —Michael McDonald, Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Book Review 4: “Fred Mollin and I have been friends and have worked together off and on for 30 years. He just does great work, and, you know, anybody that produced Sometimes When We Touch at 23 and wanted to produce me, was an honor. Still is. This book is full of stories that need to be read.” —Bill Medley, “Righteous Brother”, famed inductee to the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame Book Review 5: “On Music Row in Nashville, the word is this: Fred Mollin makes good records. Okay? How? He writes a hell of a book too!” —Paul Shaffer, iconic musical director, bandleader, performer Late Night With David Letterman, SNL Book Review 6: “A life in music, well-lived, as Fred Mollin learned the art of record production and film composing, starting with the worldwide hit Sometimes When We Touch by Dan Hill -- is the storyline of Unplugged, the wise and witty account of his lifelong dedication to his craft. Memoir or primer? You be the judge.” —Joel Selvin, bestselling author and legendary rock journalist

Using softboxes, umbrellas, masks, gels, reflectors, and more, you’ll learn to precisely control the light’s diffused edge and ratio for precise, flawless results.
