The first book in the series, Lighting, is essentially about how you see. Artists
paint with oils or watercolors, photographers paint with light. It is the fundamental
ingredient of every photo. How a shot is lit can greatly change the feeling it gives
the viewer. Whether bright and happy or dark and moody, light is a very useful tool,
but it is not always possible to control (unless you can afford a studio) and so this
book aims to teach readers how to make the best with what they have. It is split into
five sections, which will study the basics: natural light, controlled light, artificial
light, and capturing light. The final section uncovers different methods of capturing
images using light in a creative way, like camera-less images known as photo grams, or
holding sparklers in front of an open shutter. The final section will inspire both
students and those wising to push their creative boundaries.
