Announcing a new edition of Night Photography and Light Painting — the bestselling guide to finding beauty and light in the dark
Night photographers have one big thing in common: a true love of the dark. Rather than looking at night photography as an extension of daytime shooting with added complications, they embrace the unique challenges of nocturnal photography for the tremendous wealth of creative opportunities it offers.
Night Photography and Light Painting: Finding Your Way in the Dark, 2nd Edition is a comprehensive reference by one of the premiere experts in the field, that will show you ways to capture images you never thought possible. This new edition of Night Photography presents the practical techniques of shooting at night alongside theory and history, illustrated with clear, concise examples, charts and stunning images.
From urban night photography to photographing the landscape by starlight or moonlight, from painting your subject with light to creating a subject with light, this book provides a complete guide to digital night photography and light painting.
“When the first edition was published in August 2010, I never imagined that a book on night photography would go on to be reprinted several times, and translated into six different languages. It is a testament to the ever-increasing popularity of the subject, one that has been deeply personal to me for nearly 30 years. Night photography has been the cornerstone of my life’s creative efforts and I feel truly fortunate to have been able to make it the foundation of my photographic career.”
— Lance Keimig, Author, Educator, Pro Photographer
