Roger Hicks

    Robert Hicks est un auteur dont les œuvres plongent dans l'histoire et les récits humains qu'elle renferme, mis en vie par son art narratif. Son expérience dans l'industrie musicale de Nashville pendant vingt ans, en tant qu'éditeur de musique et manager d'artistes, lui a apporté une perspective unique sur la narration. Hicks est également un fervent défenseur de la préservation et de la restauration de sites historiques, une passion qui se reflète dans son attention portée aux détails historiques et à l'authenticité dans son écriture. Son approche littéraire consiste à ressusciter le passé et à éclairer les personnages et les événements moins connus mais significatifs qui ont façonné l'histoire.

      "Studio-based still life photography is amongst the most challenging of subjects for the photographer. It's a genre which demands a high level of compositional skill and a mastery of lighting techniques. Here, over 40 professional still life photographers share their secrets and reveal the precise lighting arrangements behind some of their most successful shots. By copying some of these tried and tested setups novices to the studio will be able to create great lighting with the minimum of effort. More experienced photographers can benefit, by adapting the setups for their own needs - and of course there's always a few new tricks worth borrowing." Once the basics have been mastered, readers can move on to the second section of the book, which explains how to create convincing, studio-based special effects. Everything from mounting a light on a revolving set, to projecting an image onto a subject to change its appearance, to creating the effect of a starlit sky is explained in an easy to follow way. Montage, superimposition, room sets and digital imaging effects are just a few of the techniques covered - along, of course, with the lighting set-up for each image.
