DESCRIPTION:
What’s your definition of a photo studio? Is it a room with a white seamless backdrop or a cyc wall? Maybe it’s simply anywhere you’re in control of the lighting. In a perfect world, where every day is a breezy 72 degrees with partial cloud coverage, we would all have a 5,000-square-foot studio–and the entire catalog of B&H™ in our equipment lockups.

Brent A. Thale said Great collection of tips!. "Studio Anywhere" is a great guide for photographers who want to improve the quality of their images without needing a ton of expensive gear or a permanent studio location. I really enjoyed the book, the author is very specific about how he lit each example picture, even including screenshots of Lightroom settings of how he color graded the pictures and fixed problems.The author covers many different scenarios: low-key portraits, bright and dark product shots, shooting with water, bright sky and dark night portraits always in tight spots with minimal gea.

Obviously we'd all like to not have to carry around that little bit extra gear, but it just seems to go against the whole concept that we do 90% of our shots without a studio. We are not talking run and gun here, we're talking posed sittings, which may or may not have time pressures and baggage al. This is one amazing gem of a book about portraiture photography this is one amazing gem of a book about portraiture photography. the author of this wonderful book is extremely talented and knows how to explain it and explain it well he did! I like the style of this book. its like reading a diary/blog and you can see how a professional photographer thinks and works with lighting on various locations with limited budget. this is without a doubt one of the best books that explain working with lighting which is a bit complicated for beginners. also the post-processing tips on Lightroom is quite insightful.I'm glad that I
