Bp Basics Photo Box Set

Composition, lighting and exposure are fundamental elements of the photographer's toolkit. Being able to organize space within the photographic frame, control and use different types of light and manipulate photographic variables such as shutter speed and aperture to your own ends is the mark of a true photographer. With easy-to-read text, clear diagrams for quick reference, inspiring case studies and practical exercises, the Basics Photography Box Set offers a complete guide to creating stunning photographic images. The set includes over 800 full-colour images, including stunning imagery from master photographers such as Fay Godwin, Dorothea Lange, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Sebastiao Salgado and Hiroshi Sugimoto. Together, the books cover topics such as: the formal elements of composition (including scale, point, line, shape, form, texture, pattern and colour); perspective and lenses; light theory; colour theory; natural light, available light and studio light; depth of field; close-up techniques; filters and flash; f-numbers and shutter speeds; and lighting and exposure for black-and-white photography.
