LIGHTING FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS

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 specialized 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.
