Description of  Contemporary Technics For Nude Lighting : Nudist Models In 21st Century

The lighting drawings in this book are intended as a guide to the lighting setup rather than as absolutely accurate diagrams. Part of this is due to the variation in the photographers' drawings, but part of it is also due to the need to represent complex set-ups in a way that would not be needlessly confusing. The information for each picture follows the same plan, though some individual headings may be omitted if they were irrelevant or unavailable. The photographer is credited first, then the client, together with the use for which the picture was taken. Next come the other members of the team who worked on the picture: stylists, models, art directors, whoever. Camera and lens come next, followed by a film. With film, we have named brands and types, because different films have very different ways of rendering colors and tonal values. Exposure comes next: where the lighting is electronic flash, only the aperture is given, as illumination is of course independent of shutter speed. Next, the lighting equipment is briefly summarised whether tungsten or flash and what sort of heads and finally there is a brief note on props and backgrounds. Often, this last will be obvious from the picture, but in other cases, you may be surprised at what has been pressed into service, and how different it looks from its normal role.
