Mastering Lighting Volume 1

The long-awaited follow-up to Nick Saglimbeni's award-winning Mastering Retouching series is finally here!
Face it: it's a new world out there. You're no longer the only artist on your block, and let's be real-now you're competing with the entire world. You've heard it before: it's all about your brand. But if every photographer has a nice camera, and social media makes models accessible to anyone, you must wonder. how do you set yourself apart?
After the launch of the game-changing Mastering Retouching, photographers flooded our inboxes with requests for a lighting tutorial from photographer and filmmaker Nick Saglimbeni. With so many online tutorials out there, Nick didn't see a point in moving forward unless he could find a way to teach pro lighting in a totally new and engaging way. Fortunately, he found it, and it became Mastering Lighting.
In Volume One, which starts shipping January 15, you'll follow Nick on his visual journey from concept and scout to lighting and post. Watch as he completely reverse-engineers his shooting process and details the pitfalls many photographers fail to avoid. Mastering Lighting gives you the experience of being right there on set, lighting like the pros in real-time.
Mastering Lighting Volume One covers challenging concepts such as lighting a large space, redirecting the sun, balancing natural and artificial light sources, creating light contrast, making hair and skin glow, working with fog, scheduling your setups, and finding the best composition for both your model and the location.
