Description

Understanding light is fundamental to good photography. How any image is lit will change how the viewer sees and interprets the content. The second edition of Lighting teaches the theory and background of how light works, the different types of light and the rules it obeys. The book gives guidance on how to measure, control and use light for the best photographic exposure. With new images and case studies, this edition encourages a bolder and more innovative approach to the use of light in photography.

The second edition of Lighting includes new case studies, work from contemporary photographers, and a selection of exercises to explore a photographer's creativity.

Reviews

Exceptional. A number of students I know have bought this and so they should. Informative and inspiring. - (Praise for the first edition) K. J. Shepherdson, Canterbury Christ Church University, UK

The Lighting text is one of the best I have come across thus far; thorough, clear, well-designed, great examples. - Michelle Given, Murray State University, USA

Unlike the usual approach, Prakel not only considers studio light but all light as the basis for building a picture. Outstanding point of view, backed by visual proof and succinct but juicy text. Can't help but recomend to everyone in photography education or trade! - Armando Vilas-Boas, Institute of Visual Arts, Design & Marketing, Portugal

A very useful book which will support students in First Year as they engage with the technical and aesthetic uses of lighting in photography. - Tracy Piper-Wright, University of Chester, UK

Essential guide for students with clear chapters, content and examples. - Claire Sambrook, University of Portsmouth, UK

A stimulating and thought-provoking overview of photography's application since its modern inception. - Norwich University of the Arts, UK - Gretchen Geraets

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
