create images so I may live another day to express my pas-
sions. Light keeps me alive, light keeps my images alive. I
hope light forgives me for taking advantage of it in my early
years while learning to become a photographer. Light is my
friend, and when the time comes, I will not be able to take
light with me, but I know I will have lived my life because
light gave me the energy.
In this book, I share my lighting wisdom, and I hope
you’ll learn something from it. Light can’t be covered in
one book alone, but I hope you’ll cherish this book’s con-
tents and find your appreciation of light.
Enjoy this book and enjoy the light that allows you to
read it. Share your passions through your camera and let
light engulf you with ideas. Enjoy.
16 LIGHTING FOR GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAPHY
ON LIGHT
Light allows me to create images so I may live an-
other day to express my passions. Light keeps
me alive, light keeps my images alive. I hope light
forgives me for taking advantage of it in my early
years while learning to become a photographer.
Light is my friend, and when the time comes, I
will not be able to take light with me, but I know
I will have lived my life because light gave me the
energy.Playboy model Laura F., photographed by Tom Suhler in an abandoned hotel, was positioned so the natural light struck
her dramatically. Notice how her arms are bent to create diagonal lines. (CAMERA:Nikon D3 fitted with Nikon 70–200mm
