LEARN TO APPLY THEORY TO REALITY 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. Specifically designed to help photographers understand the basic principles of lighting, this book also teaches how to apply this knowledge to the reality of everyday situations. Throughout, emphasis is placed on the photographer's ability to control and manipulate light to achieve the desired results. The first section discusses the properties of light and how they affect photographic film. 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 lighting techniques. The Photographer's Guide to Using Light 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. * This seemingly candid portrait was taken in strong midafternoon sunlight—usually a difficult lighting situation, but one that is easily controlled by the photographer, The model was posed facing away from the sun to create a lively halo of highlight around her hair. A white reflector was then positioned below and to the right of the subject to add light and to fill in the shadows on the model's face. Exposure was determined by metering only the light falling on the face. Turning the model away from the sun and using a moderate level of fill light made for more comfortable posing and a minimum of squinting. ** CONTENTS PART ONE UNDERSTANDING LIGHT Sunlight 10 Existing Light 21 Supplemental Light 28 Electronic Flash 33 PART TWO USING LIGHT 41 Early Morning Sun 42 Diffused Sun 50 Midday Sun 54 Late Afternoon Sun 60 Sunset 70 Working With the Weather 72 Bringing the Outdoors In 78 Mixing Light Sources 80 Working With One Light 86 Sculpting With Sidelight 89 Simple Lighting Setups 96 Lighting for Glamour 100 Recreating Natural Light 112 Creative Effects 120 Lighting the Still-Life Set 126 Specialized Lighting Setups 136 Index 144
