Christopher Grey's Fine Books

	(DVD) Pro Lighting Techniques for Beauty and Glamour As the subtitle says, this is “a photographer’s guide to insanely beautiful light.”  It’s the perfect counterpart to the Beauty and Glamour book because I took several of my favorite tricks from the book and expanded on them in a 90 minute high-def (1080x1920) DVD.  Whether you buy the book or not (I think you should – I can’t put everything on one disc) this video will amp up your skills by several levels.	$34.95
	Vintage Lighting Can you effectively re-create the effect of hot lights and iconic Hollywood photography with contemporary gear?

This is instruction that will break many rules of traditional portraiture while producing images that your competition can only dream of.	$34.95
	Advanced Lighting Techniques for Digital Photographers This book picks up where Studio Lighting Techniques left off. Originally planned as a two book series, Advanced explores more of the tricks of the trade that make so many of my portraits "spectacular" and "awesome" (two words I frequently hear). This is yet another "must have" from a "Master of Light" (that would be me).	$34.95
	Lighting Techniques for Beauty and Glamour Photography The definitive guide to lighting for anyone whose clients want to look beautiful, glamorous and unique, this book explores, quite deeply and with lots of diagrams, how I achieve the beautiful lighting effects I use to define my work. I spent almost three years working on this, changing and refining my techniques until I was happy enough with them to share them with you.	$34.95

	Master Lighting Guide for Portrait Photographers It occurred to me, after the first few months of work, that I was writing the book that I could never find when I was beginning my career. The basics are here, certainly; I’ve explained how light works, its qualities, and how light ratios are utilized (unlike most books, readers can actually understand my explanation).	$29.95
	Photoshop Effects for Portrait Photographers This is a book that was born in desperation. After I made the jump to digital, and formally eliminated my darkroom, I realized how much I'd come to rely on tricks and techniques that I’d used for years as a film shooter. Photoshop is a very deep program, and I knew that if I spent enough time with the generic controls that I could figure out the digital formulas to replicate those same techniques.	$29.95
	Photographers Guide to Poloroid Transfer Step by Step What began as an accident at a Polaroid lab has become a major art form. After taking a class (and getting terrible results) I decided to learn everything I could about this process, especially the problems and variables, so my own work would be consistent and predictable.	$29.95
	Creative Techniques for Nude Photography in Black and White I've been working with the figure as an art form for as long as I've been a photographer, and have found the work to be the most challenging of any photographic discipline. Creating a great photograph of the human form is much more than good lighting.	$29.95
