Description

Natural light portraiture is hugely popular. The light source is free, malleable, and to be had anywhere. Mastering its use requires a specific skill set, on the other hand. Fortunately, Tony Corbell is up to the task of showing readers how to harness its full power. He sets a foundation for mastering this powerful source, beginning with a discussion on how to set camera controls to verify the correct quantity of light is allowed to strike the image sensor to create the portrait and how to read a histogram to make certain that a subject-appropriate (versus so-known as “correct”) exposure results. Next, he moves on to speak about light quantity and quality and how each can also be modified and manipulated to produce dimensional, lifelike portraits. Readers will learn techniques for the use of hard/soft light, working with window light, ensuring a proper white balance (so that colors in the scene are true-to-life in the final image), and adding or subtracting light to succeed in the desired effect. Corbell’s images and instructions show readers how to produce the flattering, highly salable portraits they’re after—indoors and out.
