Dances with one light Dramatic photographic lighting techniques

Learn how to create incredible portrait & fashion/glamour lighting using only one light in six in-depth photo shoots by international lighting wizard Dave Montizambert. Dave shows how he forces one light to do the work of two to four lights. He also simplifies & makes easy – for even the most nontechnical mind – the necessary lighting theory & concepts that are required knowledge for any lighting job. No fluff here, just solid nuts & bolts lighting information that every photographer should know!

During the six shoots, you will have an over-the-shoulder view from many angles of the one light-lighting setups as they unfold. You will see exactly where each piece of equipment is placed and why, plus you will see in Dave’s patented intricate lighting diagrams, exactly how it all comes together and the principles involved that drive the shoot.
