Creative Lighting, Digital Photography Tips & Techniques,
By Harold Davis
Regardless of your photographic genre, this book contains valuable ideas to help use and utilze light creatively. The author breaks down many different lighting situations a photographer may encounter. Each section stands on its own, so one does not have to read the entire book to benefit from it. That also makes it very easy to use this book for later reference and review. A quick view of the table of contents demonstrates the full depth of the book. Major sections include "Seeing the light", Exposure and Lighting", "Working with Ambient Light", "Lighting in the Studio", and "Lighting in the Digital Darkroom". Each section is further subdivided into many topics, all providing a well-written, easy-to-read discussion of each topic.
Have you ever looked at an image and wondered how did the photographer capture it? If so, then you'll enjoy this book and keep it close in your library. Each section presents a wealth of information. The author identifies a given lighting situation and then explains how to handle it within the discussion. I read with a highlighter and found myself highlighting key points frequently.
The strength of this book lies in the extensive use of Mr. Davis' photography to illustrate specific discussion points. Each image is carefully captioned. The author explains why the photo demonstrates the topic at hand, where the image was taken, and what lighting situation he encountered. Mr. Davis also shares with the reader his camera settings for each image (focal distance, shutter, aperture and ISO setting, tripod or handheld). Additionally, he readily tells the reader if he the final image is a result of one shot or many shots stacked in Photoshop.
Harold Davis has written a great "Creative..." series of books (Black & White; Night; Close-Ups; Artistry; Composition; Landscapes). I started reading "Creative Lighting" after a perfect segue in completing his "Creative Portraits: Digital Tips & Techniques." This library of books are a must have from beginning photographers looking to stretch their skills to experienced photographers looking to enhance their expertise.
"Creative Lighting" is not just about flash, softboxes and the like. It is about understanding light in all its permeations, the complete spectrum from natural available light to sophisticated illumination set-ups. For a photographer, it is critical that you understand the quality of light. Photography's prime ingredient is light. Quality of light is influence by brightness, temperature, distance, angle, time, duration, reflection, reflective surface behavior and size of the light source. This is a smart, practical text presented in a very approachable format. Understanding the weight of highlights and shadows in influencing the appeal of an image is critical for a photographer. As Davis points out that although it is subjective, "good lighting is the key to good images, great images."
The book is set up into five distinct sections: Seeing the Light; Exposure and Lighting; Working with Ambient Light; Lighting in the Studio; and, Lighting in the Digital Darkroom. This contributes to the utilitarian nature of the book that serves as a handy resource to return to when questions arise. In addition, each topic is illustrated by excellent images that demonstrate the technique or concept being explained.
What I like most is that the subjects explained and demonstrated are real world situations.
