Small Flash Photography вышло в связи с ростом популярности небольших съемок со вспышкой. Студии флэш-системы стоят дорого и требуют привлечения наемным помощником. Появление Small Flash Photography позволяет фотографам избежать больших инвестиций, дает им мобильность во времени и предлагает возможности для освещения небольших участков. Охватывая все аспекты проекта, в том числе механизм выбора размещения и настройки вспышки, руководство предлагает также методы и практические советы профессионалов, которые работают с этой освещающей средой. With the surge in popularity of small flash photography, this guide is a timely resource for shutterbugs looking to take full advantage of a growing trend.

Covering all aspects of the small flash, including gear selection, placement of flash units, and proper settings and communications, this helpful how-to also offers techniques and practical advice from a variety of practiced shooters who work with this illuminating medium. Professional and aspiring photographers will reap the rewards and overcome the challenges of shooting with a small flash with the help of this instructional manual. |
