I’ve been studying images for longer than….well, a long time, dammit. Just take my word for it.

It’s nice to know I’m not the only fool geek nerd photography lighting aficionado out there.
Annie Leibovitz, Jill Greenberg, Patrick Ecclesine, Dave Hill and others laid bare.
Check out It’s All in the Lighting, Baby! by Melanie Mann, a photography assistant to the pros out in L.A.
This is a fantastic blog post, replete with awesome diagrams and behind the scenes videos.
