| About the author: |
| A final note: I’ve just finished my second book. It’s really the Minimalist Guide to studio lighting and it’s packed with demos and examples. It should be available in the Spring of 2009. In the meantime my first book, Minimalist Lighting: Professional Techniques for location Lighting, continues to sell very well. It is available at most camera stores and at online vendors such as Amazon.com.
I am currently working on my next book which is a handbook for commercial photographers and people who are interested in becoming profitable, commercial photographers. Unlike the bulk of technical books on the market, none of these is obsessed with lighting young women in skimpy costumes. Instead, I’ve tried to concentrate on giving readers some insight into the kinds of photography that generate the bulk of photographer income: Business portraits, product shots, lifestyle shots, food photography and more. I’m always looking for your feedback so feel free to e-mail me directly at

Kirk studied Electrical Engineering, English and Art History at the University of Texas at Austin. Began teaching in the college of fine arts at UT in 1981. Left the University in 1984 to become the director and creative director of a regional advertising agency in Austin, Texas. The agency was Avanti Advertising and Design. We did retail advertising for the first "category killer" book store, Bookstop, Inc. Their 124 stores were purchased by Barnes and Noble in 1987 and I took advantage of the sale and transition to leave the advertising agency and begin a career as a freelance photographer.
