Tony Corbell Make Better Images with the Power of Light

Make Better Images with the Power of Light

"What [photographers] are struggling with is spending too much time at night fixing what they shot all day. So what I'm trying to make people understand with light quality and quantity, is trying to make sure that they capture the image it's supposed to be captured, the way they want it captured, the way they see it, and get it right the first time."

That's Tony Corbell—host of Calumet's newest Imagemakers DVD, acclaimed photographer and renowned educator—on helping photographers reassess the importance of commanding light. The Power of Light with Tony Corbell is a comprehensive study on using light to heighten the effect of your photos, while saving yourself from tedious post-process work. Corbell brings you inside his studio and takes you on location to demonstrate a number of different setups, from a traditional headshot to a dramatically lit shoot of an airplane. Throughout, he discusses theories of light quality that will help you conceive your own lighting schemes with ease.

For new photographers, this DVD establishes a foundation for lighting; for veterans, it can fill the foundation soundly.
