In 1980's i remember there was a series on television, The MacGyver.
MacGyver is an American action-adventure television series created by Lee David Zlotoff.
He reminds me with Mr. Tilo Gockel. Because in any situations he can solve the problems of lighting for his photography works. I am happy when i found out that he wrote some books including this beautiful book, Creative Flash Photography. What makes me amazed is in one book (290 pages) we can grab lots of guide set up flash for our photography. The instructions are pretty clear and easy to be practiced. He uses beautiful illustrations, detail of lighting diagrams, the tricks and tips to achieve a high-end studio shots using simple equipments. There are 40 flash workshops in this book, step by step we can practice the portrait and fashion photography, macro with flash, still life and product shots, food photos, high speed flash including shooting underwater photography.
Pretty challenging! Interesting subjects to help us mastering a complex multi flash situations. Another point from this book is a spot subject for bokeh lovers. He gave tips how to play bokeh using flash. As you might know, that bokeh is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in the out-of-focus parts of an image produced by a lens. It can give special effect to the background of your photograph. For everyone who want to learn more about strobes and improve the photography skills, to read this book is a must. Photography is about painting the light.
Have a Happy Shoot!
