Here's a diagram of a really simple, easy setup - and it will wow your friends when they see the results. All it takes is a light, a piece of white poster board, any simple camera, and, of course, a willing model.

For portraiture, we want to light one side of the subject's face brighter than the other, to provide some depth and modeling ("modeling" as used here, refers to the interplay of light and shadows) on the other side of the face. When you only have one light (which is just fine to start with) you'll want to use a reflector to "bounce" some of the light back onto the shadow side of the subject's face (yes, you can buy a professional photographic light reflector for $45-$175.00, but I just used a blank, white, piece of cardboard poster board, around 18" x 24"; I got mine for $1.19 at a local drug store). Go make some pretty pictures today.

It ain't rocket science folks. All ya gotta do is give it a chance — and you'll be amazed at how much better your images will be (then you'll be hooked:). Check out our portraiture guide for more suggestions.

P.S. You can order aperfect light to use for only $39, or get the light, a light stand, and a photographic umbrella for only $69. Heck, that's less than a dinner will cost you at a decent restaurant, for goodness sake.

It is important for the beginning photographer to realize that light itself is the paintbrush and the pen of the photographic artist. Light itself is the language and and the music of photography; light is the inspiration and the beauty; light itself is the the tool that photographers' use to create stunning images. No less than a brush in the hand of Rembrandt, or a perfect line from the pen of Shakespeare, LIGHT is to the photographer! A tiny shadow placed here, a spot of light there, a slight movement of the head to the left, the eyes directed just a bit downward, a gold umbrella to warm up the paleness, a softbox to hide the wrinkles.... LIGHT is the nectar and ambrosia of the photographer! Light and it's beloved opposite, shadow, are the food and drink the photographer needs to nourish his/her creativity.

The biggest misconception among amateurs is thinking they need an expensive camera and thousands of dollars worth of costly studio equipment in order to make great pictures. Not so! Fabulous images have been made with little more than a cardboard box with a pinhole in it! The camera is not very important at all. Virtually any decent camera will do just fine to start with. And even the cheapest light you can find will work just as well as the most expensive ones. It is where you place the light and where you place the shadows that's important. It is how you modify the light that's important. Work with light. Love light. Befriend shadows. Use them. Use them wisely, and you will produce masterpieces. Well, enough of that. Here you will find the tools you'll need to make fabulous images. The rest is up to you.

And so, welcome to our humble corner of cyberspace. We're in the process of redesigning and updating the Photographer's SupplyStation web site, and during construction, when the site is in disarray and it takes a brave and hearty soul to wander among the confusion, where it's difficult to find what you want, we are rewarding those seekers by reducing our already amazingly-low prices to absurdly-low prices, at or below cost on many, many, products. But you'll have to click around the site to find them. We call this our "Pre-Grand-Opening Sale." It would be wise to take advantage of this sale while construction continues, because as soon as the site is finished, and ready to go "live," these absolutely unbelievable prices will increase to barely-believable once again. ;-) Meanwhile, peruse the fabulous bargains listed above, and may the Photographic Gods smile upon you (a little help from the Lottery Gods wouldn't hurt, either, huh?).
