Description: With basic information on the characteristics of light and specific techniques for
controlling light in a variety of environments, this resource teaches photographers how
to harness light, the most important factor of good photography. A discussion of light
basics that includes exposure, color balance, and light ratios provides photographers
with the essential understanding they need to approach any photography project.
Specific analyses of studio, portrait, and indoor and outdoor lighting detail how to use
studio strobes, set up a Rembrandt lighting scheme for a portrait, diffuse window light,
and flash-fill with direct sunlight. Tips and photographs from more than 30 wedding,
portrait, and commercial photographers offer practical advice and inspiration to help
photographers take advantage of-rather than be limited by-light's powerful effect.
