Light DECK

My need to create the LIGHT DECK comes from growing up and always having difficulties learning at school. it’s not that I didn’t like school, however, I suffered from mild Dyslexia and my teachers would often say on my report cards things like,

• Seems to “Zone out” or daydream often; gets lost easily or loses track of time.
• Difficulty sustaining attention; seems “hyper” or “daydreamer.”
• Learns best through hands-on experience, demonstrations, experimentation, observation, and visual aids.

After my experience teaching at Etic some years ago and my current regular teaching position at IPCI, I noticed some of my students responded better to me drawing out light setups on the whiteboard in class. If you learn better using visual aids, this is the product for you.  Learn photography lighting from basic to pro, either on location bending natural light or complex five light techniques in the studio to help take your photographs to the next level. This collection of images delivers a fresh and easy way to learn photography thanks to the lighting diagrams along with photo lighting tips on every card.

Printed on thick card stock and photography paper with high-end UV coatings, each photograph has been carefully reproduced at the highest image quality.   Each card contains an image with tips and lighting diagrams on the back revealing the recipe of how each image was taken.

No more sifting through hundreds of pages of text to learn inventive, professional lighting setups. It’s all right here in a simple format aimed specifically at how to learn to light for photography. Produced in an easy-access baseball card-like jumbo format this is slightly larger than a pocket-friendly collection of 52 per pack, over 130 per DECK.
