Review
"His way of painting with light is an artistic approach to photographing a variety of scenes and subjects that readers will find illuminate their imaginations." —Lou Jacobs Jr., author, Professional Portrait Photography and Studio Lighting
"Eric Curry took the simple idea of 'painting a subject with the light of flashlight' and took it past a new level to a height I could not even imagine. In addition to tremendous photographic and post production skills, he tells a story in one photograph that would take most people a book! His sense of space and composition are second to none." —Doug Box, director, Texas Professional Photographers Association
"The step-by-step & richly illustrated techniques show you how to master the skill of painting a subject(s) with light. The cover image will give you a very good idea of exactly what can be done with ANY subject matter." —www.NaturePhotographers.net
"An innovative and unique book." —www.ephotozine.com

I was fortunate enough to meet Eric Curry when he spoke to the Santa Clarita Valley Photographers Association in early 2012. About 50 photographers attended that meeting, and were entranced and impressed as Curry demonstrated his complex techniques for painting with light. The combination of dozens (or hundreds) of photographs and tens of hours of post-processing appealed to both the get-it-in-camera purists and the Photoshop geeks.
Curry's richly detailed, painterly images, painstakingly created, are a joy to behold, with a realism that evokes Hockney, an American spirit that evokes Rockwell, and an attention to minutiae that Hieronymous Bosch would have been proud of. While photographers often use the term "painting with light" to describe illuminating a time-exposure subject with a handheld light, in Curry's case, the phrase could also apply to the result, as the images look like a surreal mix of painted art and photograph. Curry's technique of laying down light via multiple exposures is not unlike an oil painter's layering of pigment with a brush or knife.
So, it was with some anticipation that I opened Curry's "Painting with Light: Lighting & Photoshop? Techniques for Photographers."
In the true spirit of information-sharing popularized by Websites and blogs like Strobist, Curry generously gives away the family jewels, the keys to the Bentley, and the secret sauce, describing in extreme detail precisely how he goes about creating, shooting and processing his richly detailed art.
Although Curry has attempted to write the book such that a complete photographic novice could attempt his techniques, make no mistake about it: It may be simple, but it is not easy. Only the photographically rigorous need apply!
