This set of slides will show how you can create photographs with impact from readily available material. Want to create images of colorful leaves encased in ice'?

These are only a few examples of the ideas put forth in this program by William W. Dyer, APSA. 70 Slides.

This program will lead you through the placement of lights and reflectors for the most complimentary effect on your models. Recommended tones for clothes and backgrounds are discussed.
