Tutorial on how to produce an advertising photo

[Garry Edwards]

Another new tutorial, as per the title.
This covers the various things, as well as the lighting, that have to be considered http://www.lencarta.com/studio-ligh...eate-a-media-photo-from-scratch/#.UtAHPbQTC84

A very fascinating read - in depth and with the right amount of technical jargon. Think this would be useful for my Media and Photography students to read, just to get an insight into the amount of work to get a decent product shot.

Thanks Garry, great read, I'm working through light science and magic at the moment and these tutorials are a good bit of side reading to put principles into context.

LSM is an excellent book and you'll learn far more from that than from me

Yes, the thought processes are really what this blog entry is about, it isn't a lighting tutorial as such, it's about the why rather than about the how.

I'll second that the book is excellent. Although it's a whole new debate if you can learn more from it than you can from Garry!
