About the Author :
David Prakel was given his first camera at the age of 9 and photography has played a central role in his life ever since. Since completing a degree in psychology at the University of Manchester, David has enjoyed a diverse career in journalism, photography and education. In the 1990s he was a prolific magazine contributor, authored a book on popular music and worked as a publishing consultant and trainer. He then spent a sabbatical year in America teaching photography in night-class and youth programs. On his return to the UK he taught photography at all levels in schools, colleges and at the Kodak Imaging Training Centre in Harrow, Middlesex. He now runs his own photographic training workshops in Northumberland and is a part-time lecturer on the BA Hons Photography degree course at the Cumbria Institute of the Arts.

Review :
Basics Photography:Lighting mixes practical advice with inspirational imagery, resulting in a successful and well-rounded effort. Sit yourself down and read this little gem from cover to cover. Exceptional. A number of students I know have bought this and so they should. Informative and inspiring. The Lighting text is one of the best I have come across thus far; thorough, clear, well-designed, great examples. Unlike the usual approach, Präkel not only considers studio light but all light as the basis for building a picture. Outstanding point of view, backed by visual proof and succinct but juicy text. Can't help but recomend to everyone in photography education or trade! Set out in an easy-to-follow format, [Basics Photography: Lighting] is an ideal learning tool... No doubt the best thing about this book is the dramatic imagery, which offers inspiration to any aspiring photographer. Every chapter leaves you wanting to go out and try new techniques. Well worth a read.
