As the popularity of photography grew, so did the technology that backed it up. In particular, lighting styles changed to reflect both advancing technology and changing mores. As fashion and society evolved, so did portraiture. In this book, Christopher Grey shows you how to capture the signature lighting styles of bygone eras but with today's cameras, light sources, and postproduction tools. Learning to produce these often studied (but rarely attempted) styles will open up a world of creative possibilities and take your portrait to the next level! Features: 1910: Simulating skylight and window lighting 1920: Soft shadows, upward shadows, and crosslighting 1930s: Deep shadows, tonal mergers, strong backlighting and flare, and creating a mix of under and over exposure 1940s: The powerful look f hard light and deep shadows 1950s: Action portraits, mixing hard and soft light sources, and pinup photos 1960s: Street-style lighting, colored gels, and tight headshots AUTHOR: Christopher Grey is a prolific author and internationally acclaimed world-class photographer and instructor who is based in Minneapolis. The still photography produced for his portrait clients has won many national and international awards for excellence, as have several of the television commercials he's directed. ILLUSTRATIONS: 185 colour photographs
