[audiobook] Stillness in Motion: Italy; Photography; and the Meanings of Modernity (Toronto Italian Studies) by Sarah (Sally) Patricia HIll; Giuliana Minghelli in Arts-Photography

Description

In this book; Benny Migliorino teaches readers how to work with speedlights—lightweight; relatively inexpensive; and powerful palm-sized flash units—to create dramatic; dimensional; flattering lighting. Migs presents 60 portraits shot in a wide range of environments—from cramped quarters and fluorescent light; to dimly lit rooms; to makeshift “studiordquo; spaces in a clientrsquo;s home or office. Readers will learn critical lighting skills from reducing the contrast range and creating softer; more flattering light; to re-creating traditional studio lighting patterns in varied existing-light scenarios; to adding fill for a rounder; more dimensional view of the subject; to overpowering the existing light; and working in mixed-light scenarios. Whether yoursquo;re working solo or with an assistant; with one speedlight or multiple units; using “barerdquo; (unmodified) small flash or harnessing its power via flash-mounted or freestanding light modification devices; you will learn how to make quick work of creating professional; evocative portraits that bring out the best version of your subject and highlight the personal connection he or she has to their personal environment.
