LIGHTING

An Introduction

• The Introduction to Lighting booklet was written for classes here at Elysium to provide photographers who have never used studio lighting equipment before. Some of it is specific to the AlienBee and Pocketwizard equipment we provide in the studio, but a lot of it is basic universal lighting concepts and diagrams. We are providing this PDF here for you since interest in the classes has waned recently but we wanted to still make it available to those who are new to the studio environment.
• The booklet is divided into 4 sections.
• PART I {The Basics: Camera Settings & Lighting Equipment}
• PART II {Understanding Light Modifiers}
• PART III {Mastering the Basic Lighting Styles}
• PART IV {Common Lighting Pitfalls & How to Avoid Them}
