Bienvenidos al fascinante mundo de la iluminación fotográfica, donde la luz cobra vida para transformar nuestras imágenes en expresiones visualmente cautivadoras y emotivamente poderosas. En este libro, nos sumergimos en el dominio de la luz y exploramos cómo su comprensión y manipulación estratégica pueden revolucionar la forma en que capturamos el mundo a través de nuestras cámaras.La luz no solo ilumina nuestras escenas; moldea el estado de ánimo, resalta texturas, define formas y, en última instancia, da vida a nuestras visiones creativas. A medida que exploramos las múltiples facetas de la iluminación fotográfica, desde sus fundamentos sólidos hasta sus aplicaciones más avanzadas, nos adentramos en un viaje en el que descubrimos cómo la dirección, la calidad y la temperatura de la luz pueden convertirse en herramientas artísticas poderosas.No solo nos detenemos en el aspecto técnico de la iluminación, sino que también exploramos cómo la luz desempeña un papel crucial en la narración visual, permitiéndonos transmitir emociones, crear atmósferas y dar vida a historias a través de cada imagen que capturamos. Desde retratos íntimos hasta la fotografía de productos deslumbrantes, cada página de este libro está diseñada para ampliar tu comprensión de la interacción entre la luz y la fotografía.Dejando de lado las reglas convencionales, abrazamos la experimentación y la creatividad en el uso de la luz, desafiando los límites predefinidos y explorando nuevas posibilidades para ampliar nuestro propio lenguaje visual. A través de técnicas innovadoras y ejemplos inspiradores, nos sumergimos en un universo de posibilidades, donde la luz se convierte en la musa que impulsa nuestra imaginación y creatividad.Esperamos que este libro no solo te brinde conocimientos técnicos sólidos, sino que también te inspire a descubrir y dominar el arte de la iluminación fotográfica, llevando tus habilidades y tu sentido artístico a nuevas alturas. Que cada página encienda una chispa de creatividad y alimente tu pasión por dar forma a la luz.Bienvenidos a un viaje que iluminará tu comprensión, desafiará tus percepciones y ampliará tu mirada a través de la maravillosa danza entre la luz y la fotografía.La iluminación en fotografía es materia principal de estudio, es la disciplina que se encarga de aportar a una escena la cantidad y calidad de luz necesaria para conseguir el nivel de exposición correcto para la imagen y garantizando que el mensaje, emoción o historia que el fotógrafo desea transmitir se pueda conseguir.Tanto en fotografía, cine o televisión, la luz es el factor más importante en el arte fotográfico y su correcto control es determinante para garantizar el resultado final.Aparte de ser un factor físico imprescindible en el proceso fotográfico, la luz posee una función plástica de expresión y modelado que confiere un significado y un carácter tal, que muchas veces ella sola determina la calidad de una fotografía, aunque esto depende del gusto del fotógrafo y la técnica que emplee.Saber utilizarla, dirigirla y rebotarla hacia un objeto puede variar de acuerdo a la técnica y al estilo del fotógrafo. Para dominar la iluminación fotográfica es necesario saber cuáles son los elementos involucrados y algunos conceptos básicos y técnicas que en este nuevo libro te explicaremos.El estudio del comportamiento de la luz y el conocimiento de las bases por las que se forman las fotografías serán, sin duda, el primer pilar que deberemos asentar para mejorar nuestra formación como fotógrafos. Su importancia es tal, que sin ésta, sería imposible tomar una fotografía, del mismo modo que sin óleo no se puede pintar un lienzo.¡Esperamos que disfrutes este viaje con nosotros!

A photograph captures a moment allowing you to study it for a long time if you wish. This freezing of time gives us the time needed to see someone's soul and get to know them better. Reflection is a valuable tool to understand the world we live in and photographs give us that. A good photograph should capture a specific moment when the subject appears in its glory to us. My daughter often says I can do that, I am unsure, I hope so. People are more than nothing. We all need to recognise a person when we come in contact with them and be able to say it is good to meet another person on this mysterious journey we call life.

12 long years in Cambodia teaching English. During that time I became enchanted with a bygone and humble mode of transportation locally known as the cyclo (see-klō). It is a pedal driven, three-wheeled taxi where the driver is perched and drives from behind and the passenger sits in front on a sun shaded chair. With the recent economic growth and burgeoning middle class in modern day Cambodia I felt that the cyclo's days were numbered. Citizens were more able to afford their own motorcycles and cars and became less dependent upon pay-as-you-go transportation methods. So I wanted to document what I thought were the waning days of the cyclo. I did this through photographs and interviews with the drivers, which I captured in this book.

In his latest series of works, entitled 1000 Odysseen, Winfried Muthesius (b. 1957) uses his photographs to explore the globally divisive topics of refugeeism and displacement. The artist, who lives and works in Berlin and Cape Verde, photographed items washed ashore on the remote beaches of the Cape Verde islands. These disturbingly poetic images for the most part show details of damaged or destroyed flip-flops-the simple footwear of people living in poverty.In the exhibition at the Stiftung Christliche Kunst Wittenberg, Muthesius enters into a dialogue with Oskar Kokoschka's piece Rest on the Flight into Egypt, using this example to evoke humankind's long history of flight and exile.This book features numerous images from the series, with hitherto unpublished drawings by the artist, images of works from his broken gold series, as well as texts by Pia Beckmann, Christhard-Georg Neubert, and an interview with Winfried Muthesius.

When author Vincent Yanez published his travel memoir, It Doesn't Matter Which Road You Take, readers wondered where the photographs were of the places he had visited. In commemoration of the upcoming 20th Anniversary of that adventure, this photographic collection not only contains images from that backpacking trip through Europe, but later journeys within Europe and America.

Mobile digital art: It is a new art form that has been widely developed since the smartphone. I used the Matter App of my smartphone to design this set of photos, through non-realistic shapes, to express my thinking and exploration of endless universes and parallel universes.

Today the nation of Afghanistan is synonymous with chaos, violence, war and poverty, yet it wasn't always that way. Just prior to the Soviet invasion and all the resultant wars that have followed, Afghanistan was a sleepy backwater content in its own simplicity. This book is a photo essay of what Afghanistan was like just before the era of endless wars. Photos from the 1970s illustrate the history of this land before it was broken by the competion of many outside forces.

Port Hope is located in Southern Ontario about 109 kilometers (68 miles) east of Toronto and about 159 kilometers (99 miles) west of Kingston. It is located at the mouth of the Ganaraska River on the north shore of Lake Ontario, in the west end of Northumberland County. Port Hope's nearest urban neighbor (25 kilometers to the west) is the City of Oshawa.Before Canada became a nation in 1867, Port Hope was already a boomtown. Its main streets were thronged with horse-drawn carriages and farmers' wagons, its plank sidewalks crowded with shoppers and merchandise. Wood-burning locomotives pulled heavily loaded trains through town on their way to a harbor filled with schooners and steamships. Solid brick commercial blocks and houses lined the streets.The town grew rapidly from four families of English descent who arrived by boat in 1793 and settled at the river mouth. The first European settlers came from the new United States. They had chosen to follow the British crown after the American Revolution. So had Elias Smith, a Montreal merchant who, with two partners, Jonathan and Abraham Walton, financed their arrival. In return for settling forty families on the land and building a sawmill and flourmill to serve them, the partners received a grant of land roughly the size of modern urban Port Hope.More families arrived including blacksmiths, carpenters, bricklayers, and merchants. The mills drew farmers from fifty and sixty kilometers away. Grain that could not be milled was bought by distilleries-there were eventually five along the river-that produced a famous Port Hope whisky. Its most rapid growth began when railways revolutionized travel in what is now Ontario.

Praise for the First Edition: "...experience in the field is brought to the public with insight and intelligence and anyone, either the working pro or the aspiring amateur, will find the material up-to-date and of use. I whole-heartedly recommend this book!" (Sandy Weiss, author of "Forensic Photography: The Importance of Accuracy")The purpose of crime scene photography is to establish a visual record of the condition of the scene and the items present within it. Depending upon the experience and skill of the photographer, this is accomplished with varying degrees of success.Building off of the success of the first edition, the purpose of this text is to provide those within the field of forensic investigation, as well as those in training, with a foundation in basic crime scene photography. While basic in nature, this text is intended to serve as a foundation for the principles and methodologies which should be adhered to when conducting crime scene documentation. The format of this text is a practical, step-by-step, application of basic techniques associated with crime scene photography. Although written primarily associated with the use of Digital Single-Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera systems, it is intended that the reader will emerge capable of utilizing any camera system, coupled with the aid of the methodology included within this text, to properly document the subject matter confronted within his or her day-to-day activities. Based upon feedback received from the first edition of this text, a number of additional sections have been added. Sections pertaining to photography and use of alternate light sources, basic photography associated with challenging environmental conditions (underwater, rain, etc.) and photography of fire and post-blast scenes are included within this edition. These inclusions, along with corrections and other chapter modifications, have resulted in this edition containing 30% more content than the first edition. Photography is a technical skill and as with any technical skill, the more times that a skill is performed (correctly) the more proficient an individual becomes at the skill. So, whether you are reading this as someone new to photography, or are a seasoned veteran simply looking for an occasional reference, hopefully this text will be of value to you. Continue to take photos and the photos will continue to improve!

To find activities you can share with them that encourage peaceful interaction? This book can help. Thumbing through this picture book with your loved one is an activity that will capture their attention, engage their mind, and encourage them to relax. They'll feel a sense of delight and anticipation as they turn the pages to see what beautiful butterfly is next. You'll find a lot of other picture books out there, mostly for kids. But it's demeaning for seniors to give them books meant for children. And adult photography books are usually large and heavy, and they often include long, frustrating paragraphs of text. At Sunny Street Books, we design books specifically for seniors with dementia. They're lightweight yet high-quality, adult in nature, with nothing to distract your loved one from their enjoyment of the photos themselves. Families, caregivers, and assisted living staff can share this book with the people they care for. It is also an excellent activity for seniors with Parkinson's disease or recovering from a stroke. Seniors with eyesight or strength challenges who find it difficult to hold a heavy book or read long paragraphs of text will also enjoy this book. FEATURES - Beautiful Content This book is filled with carefully-curated, full-color, high-resolution photos of beautiful butterflies. - No Text The only text included in the book is on the title and copyright page. - Manageable Size This is a 40-page, 6" x 9" softcover that's comfortable to hold and easy to tuck into a bag. - High Quality The quality of this book's cover and its interior design are indistinguishable from books created for other readers. Just because a book is simple and uncomplicated doesn't mean it has to be unattractive, unprofessional, or childish. - Discreet Packaging At no time is anything mentioned about Alzheimer's disease, dementia, or any other challenges the reader might be facing. This book can be given to your loved one without fear that they might feel embarrassed or offended. NOTES FOR CAREGIVERS - Sit beside your loved one in a quiet place that is free of distractions. - Allow them to hold the book if possible, and also turn the pages, which will enable them to become more engaged in the book. - Put a pillow in their lap to support the book as you thumb through it together. - Ask questions that are easy to answer.

There are splendid sights in the Niagara Peninsula. It is a pretty area in which to live, especially for a scenery photo-buff like me. I've put in a lot of mileage over the past 20 years during my spring and autumn photo jaunts. Winters are okay too, but I like spring and autumn photography the best because I do not have to keep my camera under my coat. Oh, and before I forget, I like spring and autumn the best because they are the most colourful times of the year. Let me give you a brief Overview first of all of some the significant landmarks and scenery within Niagara. Highlights include Ball's Falls, a hidden wonder near Vineland off Hwy 24, Jordan Village with quaint shops, Port Dalhousie with its two lighthouses and marinas, Morningstar Mill with the Decew Falls and the working pioneer gristmill, Niagara-on-the-Lake, voted the prettiest town in Canada in 1996, Queenston Heights, famous for the War of 1812 and now a lovely picnic site, and of course, Niagara Falls, a very loud and awe inspiring sight, and the seventh wonder of the world, and honeymoon capital.

Artists introduce themselves, their work and why they chose the qualities of that particular process.

Over a six-month period, Swiss artist Georg Gatsas photographed many of the artists living in New York's Lower Manhattan. Sparked by the history of the area as a haven for creativity, Gatsas produced a historical document in the tradition of social photographer Jacob Riis--charting places, people and moments that seem otherwise bound for oblivion.

At the heart of Beijing, the capital city of The People's Republic of China, lies a sprawling complex known as the Forbidden City. Once home to the Emperor of China, his family, and their servants, the Forbidden City was the political and ritual center of China for over five hundred years, spanning 24 Emperors from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. I traveled to Beijing in November of 2005 to attend the Beijing Film Academy's International Student Film and Video Festival. The Beijing Film Academy is the largest film and television school in Asia. My experimental video, I Love You So Much, won an honorable mention in the film festival competition. The festival organizers at BFA took our group of international visitors to The Great Wall of China at Badaling. This part of The Great Wall has been rebuilt to make it safe for tourists to climb the steep stairs leading from guard tower to tower. Most of the ancient parts of The Great Wall of China are in ramparts now, too dangerous to traverse. The welcome committee from The Beijing Film Academy were very gracious hosts. I think it's important to build an artistic and cultural bridge between China and the USA. All too often, Chinese-US relations are depicted as antagonistic in the US mass media. It's important to foster learning and open a frank, honest dialogue between artists from different backgrounds and different countries.The linguistic divide between myself and the Chinese students I met was challenging. At times I felt lost in translation. I learned to say one phrase in Mandarin that opened doors for me, the title of my movie, I Love You So Much: Wo zhen ay ni.

Fog is a very normal natural phenomenon, especially in autumn and winter mornings, so as a photographer, I often get up earlier than others, either waiting on the street or in the park. Fog gives people a feeling of tranquility, magic, confusion and unknown, and it is for this reason that I organize the foggy photos I took.

"Timberland Voyage" uses the single aspect of trees as the core of the art photograph book. Each image within the book falls into three distinct and separate categories as to how it manipulates the woodland tree subject. "Pure Tree Symmetry" uses reflection and symmetrical compositions to create striking visual reinterpretations of the forest tree. Bright vibrant colors and post-processing develops each image into a unique vision of visual art as defined by the work of the author and photographer, John D Williams. "Visions of One" focuses on the single tree rather than on duality and repetition as seen in the previous section. Each gnarled and wooden tree reveals a beautiful pattern of branches and old weathered wood trunks and bark."The Endless Forest Dream" utilizes sweeping forest landscapes to create a dreamlike fantasy vision of the tree in a woodland setting. The vision behind the photograph art book is to move away from conventional perceptions of the tree as a single point of beaut, and instead represent a modern contemporary vision of nature for art fans and art lovers alike.The book "Timberland Voyage" contains over 34 images in both color and black and white. Each work of art includes the original title devised by the photographer, as well as a short description on the thoughts and feelings as well as the subject matter of each individual image.As a creative artist John D Williams strives to create striking and highly original visions when he is out in nature and the world at large, capturing images that encapsulate a sense of modernity. His appreciation for the "visual arts" stems from his education in media and film study."For me visual images are like the stories we hear all around us.The power of visual stimuli is one of the keys to our survival, an instinct if you like. Our ability to read visual photographs stems in part from our cultural currency, however true art is able to communicate in all languages, across all boundaries, and borders, to touch the true essence of the human spirit."The common subject of the "tree" in this book explodes from its previous conceptions, and invites a fresh invigorating study of these breathing living organisms so often alive, and yet well hidden, in the dark forests and woodlands of England.
