Studio Anywhere: A Photographer's Guide to Shooting in Unconventional Locations Paperback

What’s your definition of a photo studio? Is it a room with a white seamless backdrop or a cyc wall? Maybe it’s simply anywhere you’re in control of the lighting. In a perfect world, where every day is a breezy 72 degrees with partial cloud coverage, we would all have a 5,000-square-foot studio–and the entire catalog of B&H™ in our equipment lockups.

But the reality is that you may have an outdated DSLR with two decent lenses (which took you several years to save up for), and all you have at your disposal is an unfinished basement, your garage, or the empty conference room at your office. That’s where Studio Anywhere comes in. With photographer Nick Fancher as your guide, you’ll learn how to get portfolio-ready photos while working in some of the most problematic scenarios imaginable. Whether shooting a corporate portrait, a test shoot with a model, or a promo shoot with a band, you’ll discover that most of the time, there’s no need for an expensive studio–you just have to get creative.

Studio Anywhere is a resource for photographers to learn through behind-the-scenes photos and lighting diagrams from a range of photo shoots–but it doesn’t stop there. Because directing a photo shoot involves more than simply knowing how to wield a camera or process a raw file, Nick also lets you in on the aesthetic decisions he makes in his signature photos, inspiring you to develop your own vision. And, finally, he describes his Lightroom and Photoshop workflow so you can learn how to deftly navigate post-processing.

• Shows how to create images with minimal equipment that is within reach of anyone’s budget
• Takes you through the entire shoot, from concept to lighting to exposure to post-processing in Lightroom and Photoshop
• Teaches how to build a portfolio without a dedicated studio space

你對攝影棚的定義是什麼？是一個有白色無縫背景布或圓形牆的房間嗎？或者只要能控制照明的地方就可以？在一個完美的世界裡，每天都是風和日麗的72度，部分有雲覆蓋，我們都擁有一個5000平方英尺的攝影棚，並且在設備儲藏室裡擁有完整的B&H™目錄。

但現實是，你可能只有一台過時的數位單眼相機和兩個不錯的鏡頭（花了你好幾年的時間存錢買的），而你能使用的只有一個未完成的地下室、車庫或辦公室的空會議室。這就是《Studio Anywhere》的用意所在。在攝影師Nick Fancher的指導下，你將學習如何在一些最困難的情況下拍攝出適合作品集的照片。無論是拍攝企業肖像、與模特兒進行試鏡，還是與樂團進行宣傳拍攝，你會發現大多數時候並不需要昂貴的攝影棚，你只需要有創意。

《Studio Anywhere》是攝影師學習的資源，通過幕後照片和照明示意圖，從一系列的拍攝中學習。但這還不止於此。因為指導一個攝影拍攝不僅僅是知道如何使用相機或處理原始檔案，Nick還讓你了解他在他的經典照片中所做的審美決策，激發你發展自己的視覺。最後，他還描述了他在Lightroom和Photoshop中的工作流程，讓你學會如何熟練地後期處理。

本書將教你如何使用價格合理的最少設備創作出精美的影像，從概念到照明、曝光再到後期處理的整個拍攝過程都會一一介紹，並教你如何在沒有專用攝影棚的情況下建立作品集。
