Picture Perfect Lighting

Roberto Valenzuela is a photographer and educator who possesses a talent for identifying areas where photographers regularly hit roadblocks. He has a passion for developing clear and concise systems that allow photographers to overcome these barriers and become better, more confident practitioners of their craft. His two previous books, Picture Perfect Practice and Picture Perfect Posing, revolutionised instructional photography books by empowering readers to advance their composition and posing skills.

Picture Perfect Lighting, the third book in the Picture Perfect series, carries forward that same spirit and approach to teaching lighting. Roberto empowers photographers to embrace lighting as a source of creativity and expression, serving their vision for the image.

Roberto has created a truly original system for understanding and controlling light in photography. After discussing the universal nature of light, Roberto introduces the five key behaviours of light, which are essential to understand in order to improve your knowledge of light. With these behaviours established, he introduces his concept of "circumstantial light," an ingenious approach to examining and dissecting the light around you in any given situation.

Providing a detailed analysis of circumstantial light, Roberto develops the top ten circumstantial light elements you need to know to fully harness the power of the light around you, allowing you to create an image that is true to your vision.

With Picture Perfect Lighting by your side, you will learn to master light. With that mastery, you will finally have the ability to create that true "wow" factor in camera—and in your photographs.
