Scott Kelby, author of the best-selling The Digital
Photography Book, once again brings to life his “Photo Recipes”
chapter—not just from this book, but from his smash best-selling
follow-ups, volumes 2 and 3. In this two-hour video, Scott shows
you exactly how it’s all done, from scratch, without holding
anything back. If you’ve ever wondered how the pros use natural
light, studio light, and even direct daylight to get those amazing
shots, you’ll see it all here, live, as it happens. For this
follow-up to the incredibly popular first volume of Photo Recipes
Live, Scott heads to Miami—both on location and in the studio—to
re-create the looks he describes in the book, along with some bonus
lighting set-ups that aren’t in the book. Everything is put
together from scratch (from studio shots to location shots), all
while the cameras are rolling— you see it all from the very
beginning so you’ll be able to re-create those same looks without
spending thousands on expensive high-end equipment. Best of all,
Scott explains everything in simple, plain English, just like he’d
tell a friend, using the same casual, conversational style that
made his series of books a worldwide sensation. If you’ve ever
wondered “how they do it,” you’re about to find out in this amazing
video that shows how easy this all can be—once you know the
secrets.
