The folks over at PhotoArgus.com have collected several “cheat sheets” made by professional photographers that show the effects of different lighting setups in a studio.

These cards cover everything from portrait lighting to light falloff to minimum hand-held shutter speeds to the “rule of thirds“.

Several of the sheets are produced under the Creative Commons license, which means you are free to print them for personal use only. Others are for sale by the photographers who created them for between $1 and $12 dollars.

I’m sure 99% of you already know all this stuff, but they might be helpful to bring someone new at your studio up to speed. Enjoy.
