Synopsis

Excerpt from Complete Self-Instructing Library of Practical Photography, Vol. 6: At-Home Portraiture, Flashlight, Interiors, Lenses 1. In gathering together the material for this volume, the editors have not lost sight of the fact that not alone the amateur, but the professional also, is frequently desirous of making portraits in the home, with all the surroundings of home that help to make up the effective studies now so much in vogue. 2. As a foundation for portrait work in the home, a knowledge of the photographing of interiors is most essential. This teaches us the handling of furniture and similar accessories; the treatment and control of light in small areas; the correct judging of exposures under difficult circumstances. 3. From this branch of the work, it is but a step to the introduction of figures into the picture, and portraiture in the home follows as a natural sequence. We can thus see that successful At-home Portraiture is dependent, to a great extent, on the correct handling of interiors. 4. The making of interior photographs differs considerably from exterior work, yet the general principles of manipulating the camera are the same. One has to learn the value of the light; also exercise his power of selection and arrangement to a different degree, as the subject material is of another type. 5. With a thorough knowledge of the subjects just mentioned, and the ability to obtain technically correctly lighted negatives, flashlight photography will present no difficulties, for the only difference between flashlight photography and ordinary photography, where daylight is used, is in the source of illumination.
