Light It is published eight times a year as a digital magazine to be read on the iPad® and available at the iTunes® app store as a single issue or annual subscription. Written for both amateur and professional photographers, Light It was created to help photographers shoot the best images possible. With Sylights lighting diagrams added to the incredible how-to content the magazine offers, Light It readers can learn to more easily duplicate lighting setups used in the magazine in their own studio.

“We saw a need for lighting diagrams in Light It to help readers visualize the photo shoot setup. We entered a partnership with Sylights because its diagram editor is detailed, is easy to use, and provides us with a consistent look throughout the magazine,” said Mike Mackenzie, Light It’s managing editor.

“Building this partnership with Kelby Media Group was an enjoyable task. I can only expect it will get better when we join our efforts to provide photographers with quality learning material,” said Olivier Lance, co-founder of Sylights.

About Sylights
Today, at its community-driven website (Sylights.com), photographers can create and share lighting diagrams for others to learn and find inspiration. The diagrams can be created for free using Sylights’ online lighting diagram editor, or its iPhone and iPad apps.

About Light It
Launched in 2011 by Scott Kelby, president of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP) and KelbyTraining.com, Light It is the how-to resource for studio lighting and off-camera flash written for both amateur and professional photographers.

“The entire magazine is dedicated to just one topic: lighting.

Joining Scott Kelby as co-editor is Matt Kloskowski, a NAPP Photoshop Guy, Photoshop and Lightroom instructor, bestselling author, and weekly co-host with Kelby of The Grid, a podcast all about photography.

At the same time, we added the ability to go beyond print, with features like a double-tap to see any photo full size, and the ability to pinch to zoom-in to see a photo’s detail. It works the way you’d think it would…like a magazine. Only better,” said Kelby.
