I got this quarter's Digital Photo Pro magazine through the mail today and it had a few very interesting articles but one in particular caught my attention. It's a series of lighting "recipes" by photographer Urs Recher and it shows how he created his photographs from portraits and fashions to products and interiors.
The lighting lessons are available online at the Digital Photo Pro's website.
Note that Recher uses a set of lighting equipments that cost more than a luxury car but that's kind of like a magician using a busty and leggy assistant. It's just for show! The true magic is in his ability to shape the light and incorporate it in the mood of his photographs.
Now if you still think you can't do what he did because you only have a bunch of flashes and a bit of gaffer tape (my gear bag), I suggest you stop reading this, sell your camera and find another hobby 'cause the fact is with that kind of mindset you'll never be a good photographer. Booya!
