Building studio light

The light modifiers guide explains every accessory: when to use a large softbox for soft even light, a reflector for fill, a grid for directional accents. The flash guide number calculator gives you the right power at any distance, no re-testing after every move.

Depth of field and focal length in the studio

The depth of field calculator shows exactly how blurred the background will be at your chosen aperture, focal length and subject distance. The focal length comparison and simulator help you choose the focal length that gives the best proportions for your subject type.

Working with people and planning shoots

The posing card gives sixteen proven starting poses. The colour analysis tool helps clients choose clothes that suit their type. The shot list maker tracks every required shot per look. The EXIF viewer helps you evaluate settings after the shoot.
