This Is Strobist Info: Your Setup Guide to Flash Photography (Paperback)

In 2009, photographer Dustin Diaz began a “365 project,” the goal of which is to shoot and share one picture per day for a year. Not only did Diaz actually complete the project–an achievement in and of itself–he consistently shared both the final image and the behind-the-scenes setup shot for that image, allowing the viewer to see how the shot was arranged. He also included information about exposure, flash power, distance, and light modifiers. The project was a huge hit that attracted thousands of followers. This Is Strobist® Info recreates and expands upon this approach by featuring an image alongside a setup shot that helpfully explains how that image was created. By showing the finished pictures as well as the setup shots for 50 of Diaz’s images, you’ll gain tons of knowledge about the basics–and beyond–of flash photography, including everything from simple one-light shots to images created with five lights and numerous gels, clamps, umbrellas, softboxes, and grids. Additionally, This Is Strobist® Info includes two chapters that guide you through the basics of starting your own lighting kit and explain the important but often-misunderstood inverse square law.

在2009年，攝影師Dustin Diaz開始了一個「365計劃」，目標是每天拍攝並分享一張照片，持續一年。Diaz不僅成功完成了這個計劃，這本身就是一個成就，他還一直分享每張照片的最終成品和幕後拍攝的設置照片，讓觀眾看到照片是如何安排的。他還提供了有關曝光、閃光燈功率、距離和光線調節器的信息。這個計劃非常受歡迎，吸引了成千上萬的追隨者。《This Is Strobist® Info》通過展示Diaz的50張照片的成品和設置照片，重新創造並擴展了這種方法，有助於解釋這些照片是如何創作的。通過展示完成的照片以及設置照片，你將獲得關於閃光燈攝影的基礎知識和更多知識，包括從簡單的單光源拍攝到使用五個燈光和多個膠片、夾子、雨傘、軟盒和格柵創作的照片。此外，《This Is Strobist® Info》還包括兩章指導你如何開始搭建自己的照明套件，並解釋了重要但常常被誤解的反比平方定律。
