ability to produce fine photography.
The goal of this book is to provide a broad back-
ground of information on which to base such an under-
standing of light and lighting—knowledge you can build
into your everyday shooting routine. In the images and
observations of the great photographers featured, you
will see a wealth of lighting applications that will expand
your photographic abilities and, hopefully, persuade you
to become a serious student of light, learning from its
many nuances and almost infinite variety.
Don Blair, a noted portrait photographer and educa-
tor, once said that the photographer who has trained
himself to “see light” could look at any photograph and
discern precisely how it was lit. Learning to see light, un-
derstanding how it works, and appreciating good light-
ing are at the root of all great photography—but simply
appreciating good light is not enough. Truly mastering
the technical aspects of lighting is a cultivated discipline
that takes years of vigilant observation. And like all com-
plex skills, the more one knows, the more one discovers
how much there remains yet to be learned.
Don Blair made a lifelong habit of studying the in-

photography comes from the Greek words “photos” (light) and
“graphien” (to draw, i.e., “to draw with light”). A well-developed

Don Blair was masterful at finding and exploiting great light. Here he
utilized a stand of trees to block the overhead light, allowing the light
to come in from the side. He used a warm-toned reflector to bounce fill
light back into the body of the ballerina/model for a beautiful result.
