I just received some interesting news from Amherst Media, the publisher of my lighting books. I want to share this with you because, well, it’s additional validation of my efforts to help photographers learn how to light their subjects.
In 2004, Amherst released my first lighting book, Master Lighting Guide for Portrait Photographers. I’m very happy to say that it was, and continues to be, a bestseller, one of the most popular titles they’ve ever produced. I believe it’s sold over 50,000 copies to date, a fantastic number for a niche market, and is still going strong.
The UPS guy stopped by this morning with a package. I wasn’t expecting anything, so it felt a little like Christmas, and it was. I don’t think my eyes popped out quite so far since my gramma gave me a set of Matchbox Trucks when I was six, but inside was a copy of Master Lighting Guide translated into Polish. It’s the first of my books to be translated into another language and, believe me, it was a thrill to see.
Pretty cool, huh? I just wanted to share.
Congratulations, Chris! That’s awesome news. I, for one, absolutely love your Master Lighting Guide and refer to it often. I have also recommended it over and over (and over!) for beginners and more experienced, alike.
Not only does it have great info and wonderful diagrams, but the apples to apples comparisons of what a setup looks like done with different modifiers is an absolute godsend! Find a look you consistently like and just buy that type of modifier rather than the trial-and-error method you usually have to do to find the right one for the look and style you’re trying to achieve!
So again, congrats on not only being a best seller but for now being an INTERNATIONALLY published author! Very cool!
