In this work, Benny Migliorino teaches readers how to work with speedlights - lightweight, relatively inexpensive, and powerful palm-sized flash units - to create dramatic, dimensional, flattering lighting. 'Migs' presents 60 portraits shot in a wide range of environments - from cramped quarters and fluorescent light, to dimly lit rooms, to makeshift studio spaces in a client's home or office. Readers will learn critical lighting skills from reducing the contrast range and creating softer, more flattering light; to re-creating traditional studio lighting patterns in varied existing-light scenarios; to adding fill for a rounder, more dimensional view of the subject; to overpowering the existing light; and working in mixed-light scenarios
