Yet where our skin is covered, the color remains the same. Photographs are made in much the same way, with the photographer personally choosing how to use this power of light to "write down" the image of what he sees. Writing with Light not only explores the recording of images, but guides us, too, in the sharpening of our own awareness of seeing. As a pen permits us to save and share our thoughts on paper so can a camera capture and celebrate, not just what it is that we see, but how it looks to us, in particular. As we come to think of a camera as something similar to the human eye, shutters and lenses become easily understood and easily used as tools for choosing how best to preserve our vision of what happens before us- some of which might otherwise only last for an instant. CONDITION: Ex-library with markings. Dust jacket encased in a Brodart-style clear plasdtic protector. Last blank endpaper partially torn out.

Henry Horenstein has worked as a photographer, teacher and author since the early 1970s. He is the author of over 30 books, including a series of photographic textbooks that have been used by hundreds of thousands of students over the past 30 years.

It includes 90 new photographs and strategies for helping anyone, with a minimum of equipment, in a studio or out of doors, to take portraits of friends, family and commercial clients. Each technique is illustrated with background photographs of the actual portrait session, showing the equipment used and its placement in the studio or, in the case of outdoor work, the proper position of the subject in regard to the sun. A lighting diagram is included for each session, giving the spatial relationships of all the elements of the setup (photographer, model, lights and equipment). A series of finished portraits from each setup compares why some are successful and why others are not, and why one photograph was chosen as the best. CONDITION: Excellent. 8 1/4" x 11" x 1/2" THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S GUIDE TO USING LIGHT: Bridges the gap between theory and application and details the principles and properties of natural and artificial light. Learn to apply theory to reality. Bridging the gap between theory and application, The Photographer s Guide to Using Light provides a practical course on one of photography s most important subjects. Specifically designed to help photographers understand the basic principles of lighting, this book also teaches how to apply this knowledge to the reality of everyday situations. Throughout, emphasis is placed on the photographer s ability to control and manipulate light to achieve the desired results. The first section discusses the properties of light and how they affect photographic film. All types of light are covered, including sunlight, existing light, supplemental light, and electronic flash (both on-camera and studio systems). The second section brings theory into practice, with more than eighty examples of how photographers have used light effectively, both outdoors and in the studio. Comprehensive diagrams and complete technical details explain how the photographers made specific choices and worked to achieve various effects. A wide range of situations and subjects are illustrated, from scenics, to portraits, to still life setups, with equal attention given to both simple and more complex lithing techniques. Takes one of photography s most deceptively difficult subjects and teaches it in terms that any photographer can understand. Filled with practical advice and creative ideas, this is a book that will help all photographers take better pictures. CONDITION: Excellent. 8 3/8" x 11" x 3/8"
