Painting with Light
by Eric CurryThrow your preconceptions about light-painting out the window and prepare for a creative journey that will revolutionize your photography.

This results in uniquely nuanced depictions with a high level of technical artistry. As Eric Curry shows, however, today’s hardware and software allow you to produce light-painting images that are anything but traditional! In this book, you’ll learn, step by step, how to plan and execute incredible, nuanced images using simple gear, a whole lot of imagination, and today’s powerful postproduction software. With these techniques, your imagination is the only limit to what you can create!
Painting with Light
by Joerg Miedza Janleonardo WoellertLight Art Performance Photography (LAPP) is a unique form of art that was invented and developed by the authors of this book. It is one of the first forms of art using light as the medium to gain widespread attention. Unlike other types of light painting, LAPP does not just involve illuminating existing objects; it also requires the photographer to create and capture new subjects constructed entirely of light. LAPP pieces are usually shot at night using long exposure times to capture complex sequences of precisely choreographed movements. Real-world surroundings are combined with transient, light-based elements to produce spectacular effects. The defining characteristic of LAPP is the harmony between the background and the harsh light often used to produce the individual image elements. The symbiosis between photographer and performer gives each work a degree of reproducibility that is essential if it is to be accurately restaged at a later time. The first part of this book describes the evolution of LAPP as told by its originators, while the middle section goes on to present a gallery of spectacular, large format LAPP images. The final section offers some basic steps and tips to give you a starting point for creating your own LAPP artworks.

Painting with Monet
by Harmon SiegelA major reassessment of the methods and meaning of impressionismAt pivotal moments in his career, Claude Monet would go out with a fellow artist, plant his easel beside his friend&’s, and paint the same scene. Painting with Monet closely examines pairs of such works, showing how attention to this practice raises tantalizing new questions about Monet&’s art and about impressionism as a movement.Is impressionist painting an objective attempt to capture reality as it really is? Or is it a subjective expression of the artist&’s unique way of perceiving things? How can artists create a movement without conformity extinguishing individuality? Harmon Siegel reveals how Monet explored problems like these in concrete, practical ways while painting alongside his teachers, Eugène Boudin and Johan Barthold Jongkind; his friends, Frédéric Bazille and Pierre-Auguste Renoir; and his hero, Édouard Manet. At a time of major cultural upheavals, these artists asked how we can know reality beyond our personal perception. Siegel provides new insights into the aesthetic, philosophical, and ethical stakes for these painters as they responded to a rapidly changing society.Beautifully illustrated, Painting with Monet sheds critical light on how Monet and his fellow impressionists, painting side by side, professed their capacity to know the world and affirmed their belief in what Siegel calls the reality of others.

La palabra más sexy es sí: Guía para el consentimiento sexual
by Shaina Joy MachlusLa palabra más sexy es sí es una guía informativa, novedosa, y sexy sobre consentimiento y educación sexual y contra la cultura de la violación. El término «consentimiento» procede del latín consensus, «consenso», esto es, «acuerdo mutuo» de dos o más voluntades sobre una misma cuestión. Dice Shaina Joy Machlus en la introducción que «antes de que este libro fuera un libro, fue un fanzine, y antes de eso, fue un artículo. Pero, antes que nada, y lo más importante, es que fue un espacio vacío. El primer artículo que publiqué en español sobre consentimiento sexual fue un intento por llenar ese espacio. Lo que demostró ser como intentar arreglar una tubería rota con una bola de papel higiénico». La palabra más sexy es sí es una guía informativa, novedosa, y sexy sobre consentimiento y educación sexual y contra la cultura de la violación. Acompañada de las ilustraciones a todo color de la artista sueca Petra Eriksson -ilustradora habitual de The New Yorker-, nos brinda, de manera clara y concisa, la información necesaria para saberlo todo sobre orientación sexual, género, feminismo y consentimiento. La prosa de Machlus, tan fresca como certera, y las luminosas ilustraciones de Erikson entablan una conversación no solo apropiada sino absolutamente necesaria para personas de todas las edades.
