Lighting & Design for Portrait Photography

Direction & Quality of Light

By: Neil van Niekerk

Some photographers make portraits that we can’t take our eyes off of. These images create mood, evoke emotion, and pique our curiosity. They have that certain something that other portraits seem to lack. These rare images are memorable—the kind of shots that clients want and photographers strive to emulate. These portraits are technically precise and have style. Neil van Niekerk is a big name in the portrait and wedding photography industry. His masterful photographs get a reaction, and he’s devoted to helping others create compelling portraits for their clients. In this book, van Niekerk shows readers strategies for creating a wide range of portrait looks (romantic, fun, sweet, dramatic, glamorous, or moody) in lackluster, middle-of-nowhere locales, small home studios, big expanses, and even on rooftops. Starting with traditional lighting and posing strategies and moving through “spicier” varieties, he shows readers how integrating specialized lighting (rim lighting, backlighting, flare, and low-key lighting—using natural light and artificial sources) and compositional approaches (shallow depth of field, lens compression, and unorthodox perspectives) into their creative approach can allow them to take full creative control over their portrait-taking process so that they’re able to deliver incredible shots of their clients in any photographic conditions.

Transformer

Klopp, the Revolution of a Club and Culture

By: Neil Atkinson

Does anyone in this room think that I can do wonders? I’m a normal guy from the Black Forest . . . I am the "normal one"' Jurgen Klopp, 9 October 2015 Jürgen Klopp’s announcement in January 2024 that he was to step down as Liverpool manager at the end of the season would see an unprecedented outpouring of grief from his adopted city. The Anfield Wrap has followed Liverpool through nine remarkable years, ten cup finals, and eight trophies, and now the ‘normal one’ is finally set to return to a normal life. But the story of Klopp and Liverpool is a special one. A city haunted by tragedy and economic hardship rapidly found itself reinvigorated and redrawn by one man's philosophy, and an approach to life and football that was driven by joy, passion and inclusivity. Klopp’s arrival led not only to spectacular footballing success, but also saw Liverpool itself becoming more culturally relevant than at any point since the height of Beatlemania. Neil Atkinson, host of The Anfield Wrap, tells the story of this unique relationship with a passion, zeal and humour befitting of the man himself. Structured around nineteen notable games in Klopp’s Liverpool career, Atkinson expertly weaves the personal and the political into this retelling of one of football's most improbable journeys, one that would change both the landscape of the sport and the city of Liverpool forever.

Africa and the War on Drugs

By: Neil Carrier,Gernot Klantschnig

Nigerian drug lords in UK prisons, khat-chewing Somali pirates hijacking Western ships, crystal meth-smoking gangs controlling South Africa's streets, and narco-traffickers corrupting the state in Guinea-Bissau: these are some of the vivid images surrounding drugs in Africa which have alarmed policymakers, academics and the general public in recent years. In this revealing and original book, the authors weave these aspects into a provocative argument about Africa's role in the global trade and control of drugs. In doing so, they show how foreign-inspired policies have failed to help African drug users but have strengthened the role of corrupt and brutal law enforcement officers, who are tasked with halting the export of heroin and cocaine to European and American consumer markets. A vital book on an overlooked front of the so-called war on drugs.

The Magnificent Exit

Mastering the Art of Leadership Transitions

By: Neil Hart

The Magnificent Exit is a book about transitional leadership. Through personal stories, professional case studies, biblical exegesis, character studies, and spiritual insights, Neil Hart introduces the reader to a transformative principle of leadership: the best leaders know when to leave, which is far earlier than usually thought. Here are just a few of the key principles explored in the book: The inertia created by poor leadership handoffs is one of the biggest leadership problems.Jesus turned the task of building the church over to others and then left the scene, serving as an example of transitional leadership.God’s vision for us as leaders is to think generationally.The best leaders envision their organizations without them in the picture.The best leaders know how to avoid “Founder President Syndrome.”A good transition involves both selecting the right successor and not waiting too long to leave.Key quote: “Organizations should exist for people, and people for the mission and kingdom of God. Leaders exist to serve people in that mission, to envision them, to encourage them, to course-correct, and to release them.”

Running Before that Wind

Running Before that Wind

By: Neil Thompson

A novel written in cameos, interlinking encounters between people of very different backgrounds whose determination and love of life leads to adventures of the heart in ironic and compelling ways. Narrated by one voice, that of Robert, a sensitive man with a generous spirit and a very keen appreciation of different cultures, traditions and expectations of life. How is it, he wonders, that people from such different backgrounds can meet and form relationships and enter diverse trusts and challenges and find respect and love? Set mainly in Namibia and Canada, countries familiar to the author, it is essentially a journey to reach and understand people who are willing to risk everything, the challenges when faith and beauty and health fail, and how the human heart and mind seek new places and a desire to be challenged. One of the stories is about a quest to rescue children from the tragedy and genocide of Darfur. Some of the book is set in South Africa and Namibia at the time of devolution and the release of Nelson Mandela. The land grabbing issue motivates the story of a man who gives up his entire inheritance and farm. The second part of the novel is set mainly in Canada. Drugs in sport, the way we fill days and dreams is woven into a mosaic of strong and stimulating tales that appear to be totally distinct and yet there are common human factors.

Ordinary Whites in Apartheid Society

Social Histories of Accommodation

By: Neil Roos

How were whites implicated in and shaped by apartheid culture and society, and how did they contribute to it? In Ordinary Whites in Apartheid Society, historian Neil Roos traces the lives of ordinary white people in South Africa during the apartheid years, beginning in 1948 when the National Party swept into power on the back of its catchall apartheid slogan. Drawing on his own family's story and others, Roos explores how working-class whites frequently defied particular aspects of the apartheid state but seldom opposed or even acknowledged the idea of racial supremacy, which lay at the heart of the apartheid society. This cognitive dissonance afforded them a way to simultaneously accommodate and oppose apartheid and allowed them to later claim they never supported the apartheid system. Ordinary Whites in Apartheid Society offers a telling reminder that the politics and practice of race, in this case apartheid-era whiteness, derive not only from the top, but also from the bottom.
