Bill Hurter, who is a well-known author of photography books, asked me earlier this year to rewrite my web article on raw workflow, for an upcoming book of his.

The book is the Wedding Photographer’s Handbook, and has just been published by Amherst Media. It is a stunning book, featuring photographs and articles by photographers who are among the very best in the industry. So it is a thrill to have my name and images appear alongside them in such a fine book.

A second article that I wrote for Rangefinder – the official magazine of WPPI – appeared in their September ’06 issue. And of course I am really proud of this. For me it’s quite an honour to appear alongside the best in the industry, in one of the premier photography trade publications. (The previous article appeared in their April ’06 issue.)

This article first appeared on my PlanetNeil website under the same title – Finding the Light. The topic is on using lighting where the conditions aren’t ideal.  Even though the tone of the article is tongue-in-the-cheek, it will  hopefully be informative, and maybe even inspire other photographers looking for ideas on using photographic lighting. 

Here is what the opening page looked like.
