NEW! 3 Dimensional Contrast DVD
by Dean Collins, Tim Mantoani & Bill Holshevnikoff
The Revolution in Lighting Continues
In 1990 Dean Collins changed the way photographers looked at light with the
release of the original "3-Dimensional Contrast" video. It was the first and
only education to clarify the qualities of light and explain how to give a
2-dimensional object, a 3-dimensional depth on paper. It not only gave
photographers a nomenclature for light, but it also gave them the ability
to control it with confidence.
Software Cinema is proud to announce the NEW "3-Dimensional Contrast"! We
have updated Dean's ground-breaking work for the digital age. This all-new
DVD covers lighting for photography and video production and is being taught
by two of the few people qualified to teach Dean's techniques — Tim
Mantoani and Bill Holshevnikoff. Over the years, Tim and Bill have built
very successful careers using these techniques and concepts. Now they teach
them to you in a clear and straightforward way.
These new invaluable lighting techniques will help you discover how to:
- Achieve a perfect exposure for the diffused highlight
- Visualize light and the transitions between shadow, diffused highlight and
specular highlight
- Control contrast in your images with the distribution of light
- Gain predictable results in reproducing exact color and brightness
- Reproduce any lighting characteristic by looking at any photograph
- Create the image you carry in your mind every time!
