ABSTRACT

The approach taken is very practical, focusing on building on the users competence throughout the book.

A new chapter, Lighting Techniques is to be included devoted to specific examples and illustrations of specific lighting techniques. These include a selection of examples; portraiture, fashion set-ups and mixed lighting techniques appropriate to a location situation. As well as a solid grounding in the principles of lighting techniques these real world examples will provide the reader with all they need to know to manage a shoot in a particular environment.

Reference will also be given to digital capture running in parallel with traditional film imaging.

This is an inspirational text; as well as encouraging visual expression; it is a highly structured learning tool that ensures all the essential skills are learnt and applied to help improve use of light in photography.
