Light & Lighting: Digital Photography Expert

Light is the key element in photography - it both creates the image and defines the style and feel of a picture. How does light work, both inside and outside the digital camera? What do you need to know about sensitivity, colour temperature and exposure? As part of the Digital Photography Expert series by Michael Freeman, Light & Lighting explores the capabilities of digital cameras and the theory of light, and helps you to put theory into practice and to shoot like a pro. Through informative, succinct text and breathtaking images, you’ll learn how best to work with light, whether it’s the sun streaming through a window, the glow of a neon sign, or the warm and fragile light of a burning candle.

Michael Freeman is an acclaimed international photographer and writer who has published a number of titles on photography, with more than a million copies sold. He has worked on commissions for many well-known publishing clients, includingTime-Life, Reader’s Digest, Condé Nast Travelerand GEO.
