Making Light 2 by Piet Can den Eynde
Freelance photographer Piet Van den Eynde recently released his newest ebook, Making Light 2. It follows the earlier released Making Light.
The 77-page tome is for flash enthusiasts and teaches the advanced use of off-camera flashes. The ebook illustrates flash techniques: Working with multiple flashes, high speed sync, as well as triggering, flashes versus strobes, and lighting modifiers.
The strength of Making Light 2 is the 10 case studies in the book. Piet goes through 10 photographs – what he was trying to achieve and how they were technically shot and post-processed. These case studies are entertaining as well as an eye-opening look into the creative and technical process.
Interviews with four photographers are also included in the book. All are great reads and a way to see how other photographers work.
This is a great ebook with excellent photos and commentary. Photographers with a modest knowledge of off-camera flash techniques would do well to give it a read. Piet’s explanation and use of high speed sync is extremely valuable. A lot of people talk about HSS but don’t know how, why or when to use it.
Making Light 2 can be purchased from Craft and Vision: http://craftandvision.com/books/making-light-ii/
Piet Van den Eynde will be touring Asia in November and December, teaching workshops on Adobe Lightroom and lighting sponsored in part by Phottix in Hong Kong and Shanghai.
