Lighting For Photographers

Techniques, Equipment, Projects.

This jargon-free guide to photographic lighting for the amateur photographer adopts a unique DIY approach.

The book shows how to improvise lighting sources by using torches, table lamps and slide projectors, for example, as well as introducing the more specialised lighting equipment and explaining how to use it.

Projects - still lifes, interiors, portraits and nudes - demonstrate a variety of approaches to lighting, and all are accompanied by diagrams showing the exact lighting set-up.
