Photographic Lighting Simplified

by Susan McCartney

For aspiring photographers ready to transform their work from average to expert, here is the �bible� to lighting any subject and space effectively.

In specific but nontechnical terms, Photographic Lighting Simplified explains how to take light sources�from outdoor bright sunlight to indoor household lighting�and recreate their effects in the studio. A series of enjoyable, hands-on assignments show readers tips for selecting the right camera format, film, and lenses; the basics of metering and testing; overviews of essential equipment for studio lighting; and much more.

Plus, dozens of step-by-step illustrations demonstrate an array of techniques for lighting reflective metal and glass objects; lighting different face types and groups; and special lighting considerations for digital cameras. For anyone who is serious about taking better photographs, this is the ultimate success guide.

Reviews

�For photographers it�s all about light, and everything you need to know about lighting . . . from seeing the light to using gear and applying techniques . . . is covered in Susan McCartney�s book. The photos, from setups to final frames, as well as the very helpful �self-assignments,� make this an essential how-to guide.�

�George Schaub, editorial director, Shutterbug

"Veteran photographer Susan McCartney has delivered another first-rate course with Photographic Lighting Simplified. . . . After reading this book, you will not let aversions to technology, digital or otherwise, deter you from realizing your full creative potential as a photographer."
