His two previous books, \u003ci\u003ePicture Perfect Practice\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePicture Perfect Posing\u003c\/i\u003e, shattered the mold of instructional photography books as they empowered readers to advance their composition and posing skills. \u003ci\u003ePicture Perfect Lighting\u003c\/i\u003e, the third book in the \u003ci\u003ePicture Perfect\u003c\/i\u003e series, brings that same spirit and approach to teaching lighting. With it, Roberto empowers photographers to embrace lighting as a source of creativity and expression in service of their vision for the image. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003ePicture Perfect Lighting\u003c\/i\u003e, Roberto has created a truly original system for understanding and controlling light in photography. After discussing the universal nature of light, Roberto introduces the five key behaviors of light, which are essential to understand in order to improve your knowledge of light. With those behaviors established, Roberto introduces his concept of \"circumstantial light,\" an ingenious way of examining and breaking down the light around you in any given situation. Providing a detailed analysis of circumstantial light, Roberto develops the top ten circumstantial light elements you need to know in order to fully harness the power of the light around you to create an image that is true to your vision. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But how will you know if the circumstantial light is enough? The final piece of the \u003ci\u003ePicture Perfect Lighting\u003c\/i\u003e system is Roberto's \"lighting benchmark test,\" a brilliant method for determining the quality of the light in any given situation. It is with the lighting benchmark test that you will determine if and when you need to use \"helper light,\" the light that is needed or manipulated in order to \"help\" the circumstantial light so that your vision comes to life. Helper light is created with diffusers, reflectors, flashes, strobes, and light modifiers. \u003ci\u003ePicture Perfect Lighting\u003c\/i\u003e covers all of this in depth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Don't limit yourself to using only one kind of light, and don't depend on Photoshop actions and plug-ins to create the \"wow\" factor in your images. That is the job of light. With \u003ci\u003ePicture Perfect Lighting\u003c\/i\u003e by your side, you will learn to master light. With that mastery, you will finally have the ability to create that true \"wow\" factor in camera--and in your photographs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rocky Nook\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781937538750\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 8.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Roberto Valenzuela","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36671246106780,"sku":"9781937538750","price":42.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_291cf2b9-b266-4478-974d-2ff93f15890a.jpg?v=1603924915","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/picture-perfect-lighting-an-innovative-lighting-system-for-photographing-people-9781937538750","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
