Great post! I think I have to add this site to my fab! ok…I just did.

I love taking pictures in natural light. It’s simple, easy, and it looks so natural. I do however, would love to learn more about studio lighting. Once I master that, it’s a rap! My photography business will explode (i hope).

Don, thank you for the reflector credit in Kayla’s photo. Can I get a copy for my “Assitant’s” Model Mayhem site. Thanks for the great time again and can’t wait to see you again.

I really like this post. The photos look great as always..

I worry that with technology is really making us spend so much time on Post Production on our photos. But I suppose thats just the way it is now.

Your Photoshop techniques are very informative…keep up the good work

Great article. I often have to retouch photos by so called professionals who have not thought about lighting the subject.

The PP layout is huge for me! Gave me some really helpful ideas to work off of and probably saved me a ton of time in PP. Though, I have more questions now than ever. Clearly going to have to take a class sometime.

Loving this, Don. I especially appreciate the photoshop tips and contact sheets. I know it’s a lot of trouble to go through, but please keep doing it – it’s what makes Lighting Essentials better than other sites.
