One of the upcoming topics on the photo course will be how to handle contrast and light in a photo. I guess I have to brush up on my theory and re-read the book "Light - Science & Magic". This book is the classic text on photographic lighting. It covers almost everything you have to know about light:
- What is light?
- What is reflection and how do you handle it?
- Everything you need to know about surfaces
- How to reveal shape and contour
- How to photograph metal and glass
- Various lighting setups (basic, fill, hair, ...)
- Extremes - contrast handling
- Strobe lights
Recommended reading!
