You don’t need a studio full of gear or a stack of technical manuals to create beautiful editorial portraits. In Studio Lighting for People Who Hate Technical Sht*, Kate Whyte (lighting specialist, Canon and Profoto Ambassador) walks you through 9 single-light setups, modifiers, and practical troubleshooting in clear, visual language - the guide she wished she’d had when she started.

What’s inside the 42 page guide

• A plain-English introduction to strobes, triggers, and getting your light to fire.

• The three building blocks of lighting - explained with examples and photos.

• 9 single-light setups (umbrella, bare-bulb, beauty dish + grid) with diagrams.
