Description

Photographic lighting is a subject on the way to never go out of style, no matter how sophisticated cameras and other technology get. Even with the most high-tech gear, photographers still want to put numerous thought and vision into lighting their photographs so as to get great results. This key skill has the power to dramatically and quickly reinforce photographs.

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:

  • All new chapter titled “Setting Up Your New Studio”
  • A re-vamped and expanded chapter 8 now titled “Making Portraits”
  • New appendix of reliable photo gear sources
  • Over 100 new photographs and informational sidebars
  • Updated information about advances in flash equipment, LED panels and fluorescent lights

Styles of lighting continue to change, but the nature of light will all the time remain the same. Once photographers take into account the basic physics of lighting, they are able to apply that knowledge to a broad range of photographic styles.
