Bridging the gap between theory and application, The Photographer s Guide to Using Light provides a practical course on one of photography s most important subjects.

All types of light are covered, including sunlight, existing light, supplemental light, and electronic flash (both on-camera and studio systems). The second section brings theory into practice, with more than eighty examples of how photographers have used light effectively, both outdoors and in the studio. Comprehensive diagrams and complete technical details explain how the photographers made specific choices and worked to achieve various effects. A wide range of situations and subjects are illustrated, from scenics, to portraits, to still life setups, with equal attention given to both simple and more complex lithing techniques. Takes one of photography s most deceptively difficult subjects and teaches it in terms that any photographer can understand. Filled with practical advice and creative ideas, this is a book that will help all photographers take better pictures.
