Learn techniques for lighting a still-life scene and processing the images using Adobe Photoshop, in this "mini" course from John Derry.
John demonstrates a lighting technique drawn from the theater stage, using light to direct attention and invoke emotion, drama, and mystery-without a lot of expensive equipment. In fact, you don't need much more than the timer on your camera, a tripod, and a flashlight. Once you've learned how to light and shoot your still life, watch the follow-up chapter to learn how to enhance the image with Adobe Photoshop.
