Colouring With Light - Learn Photography by Colouring PDF

Learn photography one page at a time.

Colouring With Light is a colouring book with a purpose. Each of its 34 intricate designs is built around one idea in photography, from aperture and shutter speed to golden hour and the rule of thirds. As you colour, you work out how that idea behaves: where the light falls, what stays sharp, where the eye is led. Then a short exercise sends you out with your camera or phone to try it for real.

The idea came from one of my learners. She was struggling with sleepless nights and found colouring calming, and she is a visual learner who takes things in by seeing and doing far more than by reading. So I drew her a page that taught a piece of photography as she coloured it. It worked, and that one page grew into this book.
