Whether you're using a high-powered strobe or a small hotshoe flash, Chroma is for you. Nick begins with a discussion of color theory, gels, and white balance, then examines how to determine which colors complement your subject matter (whether that's people or products). He moves on to cover topics such as:

Balancing, mixing, and overpowering ambient light with artificial light
Layering colors for unique color combinations
Mixing hard and soft light to achieve extremely rich color
Lighting detail and texture
Modifier options, such as ring flash, snoots, barn doors, softboxes, and filters
Gobos to control the light
Post-processing for vibrant, powerful colors
How (and why) to light with color, even when the end goal is a black and white image
Illustrated throughout with innovative and expressive imagery, Chroma also includes behind-the-scenes photos, lighting diagrams, and Lightroom settings so you can follow along from the initial concept through to the final edit.
