"An essential how-to guide." -- Shutterbug

For aspiring photographers ready to transform their work from average to expert, here is the "bible" to lighting any subject and space effectively. In specific but nontechnical terms, Photographic Lighting Simplified explains how to take light sources–from outdoor bright sunlight to indoor household lighting–and recreate their effects in the studio. A series of enjoyable, hands-on assignments show readers tips for selecting the right camera format, film, and lenses; the basics of metering and testing; overviews of essential equipment for studio lighting; and much more. Plus, dozens of step-by-step illustrations demonstrate an array of techniques for lighting reflective metal and glass objects; lighting different face types and groups; and special lighting considerations for digital cameras. For anyone who is serious about taking better photographs, this is the ultimate success guide.

More so than new developments in camera technology or changes in photographic styles, the use of light distinguishes an average photograph from an accomplished one. In the pursuit to master photographic lighting, emerging photographers are often frustrated by the complexities of lighting effects, conflicting expert opinions, and the plethora of expensive lighting equipment. Help is on the way. In Photographic Lighting Simplified, veteran photographer Susan McCartney offers a comprehensive guide to lighting any subject and space effectively.

I cannot help but find striking resemblances between scientific communities and schools of fish. We interact in conferences and through articles, and we move together while a global trajectory emerges from individual contributions. Some of us like to be at the center of the school, others prefer to wander around, and a few swim in multiple...

These are the ones who have been...
