El retrato. Técnicas de iluminación - Antonio Garci Cover Art

El retrato. Técnicas de iluminación

El retrato. Técnicas de iluminación Dirección de poses y calidad de luz by Antonio Garci

Fotografiar personas es una de las disciplinas más interesantes y a la vez más complicadas de la fotografía. La capacidad de contar más allá de lo que se ve en un gesto, una mirada, o una sonrisa, ha entusiasmado a generaciones de fotógrafos, pero también ha traído de cabeza a muchos otros, quienes, atascados en la técnica o perdidos en lo artístico, se descubren incapaces de lograr en sus fotos la belleza que ven en su mente. Uno de los factores más importantes a la hora de transmitir esas sensaciones es el uso de la iluminación como luz consciente . El control de la luz ofrece un potencial infinito para recrear ambientes y estados de ánimo, si somos capaces de leerla, entenderla y aplicarla. Este libro ofrece a quienes nunca se han aproximado al retrato fotográfico un camino para expresarse a través de los demás; al fotógrafo de luz natural, la teoría y la práctica para adentrarse en un mundo nuevo de luces y emociones, y a los ya experimentados en ambas facetas, un método personal y diferente para comprender el retrato de un modo más amplio y dominar la iluminación como uno de los mayores recursos creativos en fotografía.

The Oxford Illustrated History of the Book - James Raven Cover Art

The Oxford Illustrated History of the Book

The Oxford Illustrated History of the Book by James Raven

In 14 original essays, The Oxford Illustrated History of the Book reveals the history of books in all their various forms, from the ancient world to the digital present. Leading international scholars offer an original and richly illustrated narrative that is global in scope. The history of the book is the history of millions of written, printed, and illustrated texts, their manufacture, distribution, and reception. Here are different types of production, from clay tablets to scrolls, from inscribed codices to printed books, pamphlets, magazines, and newspapers, from written parchment to digital texts. The history of the book is a history of different methods of circulation and dissemination, all dependent on innovations in transport, from coastal and transoceanic shipping to roads, trains, planes and the internet. It is a history of different modes of reading and reception, from learned debate and individual study to public instruction and entertainment. It is a history of manufacture, craftsmanship, dissemination, reading and debate. Yet the history of books is not simply a question of material form, nor indeed of the history of reading and reception. The larger question is of the effect of textual production, distribution and reception - of how books themselves made history. To this end, each chapter of this volume, succinctly bounded by period and geography, offers incisive and stimulating insights into the relationship between books and the story of their times.
