Description:

The Basics Photography Series from AVA Publishing's Academia imprint comprises a collection of five titles including: Lighting, Composition, Capturing Colour, Post-Production, Black & White and Post-Production Colour that underpin the fundamentals of photography. As such, they offer an essential introduction to the subject and form a comprehensive reference for students of photography, design and other visual arts subjects as well as amateur photographers seeking a sound technical and aesthetic coverage of the subject.

Understanding lighting is fundamental to good photography and a good photographer learns to paint with light. How any image is lit will change how the viewer sees and interprets the content.

The book is split into six sections. The first section looks into the theory and background of how all light 'works' for the photographer; the different types of light and the rules it obeys. Natural light, available light and photographic light sources in the studio are all explained and key guidance given on how to measure light for the best photographic exposure. The book concludes by looking at how to control and use light. Mastery of the basics of lighting will give the reader confidence to explore and experiment. Technical concepts are explained through the use of clear diagrams and in a glossary that runs throughout each section. The book is beautifully illustrated with inspiring and compelling images, many taken especially for this publication.
