This ebook is your handy guide to setting up and using a single off-camera light to create effective portraiture with a digital camera. The techniques I demonstrate are the very ones I use myself.  Incredibly easy and intuitive once you gain a little experience with them.

But I understand, from having been there, that learning the basics can seem perplexing at first. This guide will make everything about getting started very simple. After reading just a few pages, you’ll be able to create beautiful one-light portraits almost immediately.

We’ll start off by defining what a one-light portrait is and why it makes sense to become proficient with a single light source.  Then we’ll get into the gear and items you’ll need to get started with your first setup. We’ll also talk about basic background considerations. And finally, I’ll show you how to put together and use a one-light setup under various scenarios!
