an introduction to photographic lighting
xiii, 320 pages : illustrations (chiefly color) ; 27 cm
"Photographic lighting is a topic that will never go out of style, no matter how sophisticated cameras and other technology get. Even with the most high-tech gear, photographers still need to put a lot of thought and vision into lighting their photographs in order to get great results. Mastering this key skill has the power to dramatically and quickly improve your photographs as well as your efficiency. Light, Science and Magic provides you with a comprehensive theory of the nature and principles of light, with examples and instructions for practical application. Featuring photographs, diagrams, and step-by-step instructions, this book speaks to photographers of varying levels. It provides invaluable information on how to light the most difficult subjects, such as surfaces, metal, glass, liquids, extremes (black-on-black and white-on-white), and portraits. This new edition includes:
Introduction -- Light: the beginning -- Light: the raw material of photography -- The management of reflection and the family of angles -- Surface appearances -- Revealing shape and contour -- Metal -- The case of the disappearing glass -- Making portraits -- The extremes -- Working on location -- Setting up your first studio.
