An exploration of the lighting techniques used by top international photographers when shooting still life. Every picture featured in Still Life and Special Effects Photography is accompanied by a description of how the lighting was achieved, while clear illustrations showing each lighting set-up help readers achieve the same effect.
The first section is dedicated to shooting conventional still-life subjects (such as food, product shots, natural flora), and the second to the more challenging field of special-effect photography (montage, multiexposure, mirrors and props, constructing simple room sets, etc).
This should be an indispensable book for anyone who would like to discover the secrets behind other photographer's successful images.
