Author: Christian Bloch

High dynamic range imaging (HDRI) takes photography to a whole new level.

HDRI means truly lossless image editing, full exposure control, and the ability to master any scene's contrast witho... more »ut artificial lighting and preserve all light from a scene so it can be digitally revisited anytime in the future. Combined with panoramic photography, this captured light can even be used to render 3D objects with a deceivingly realistic appearance.

In 2007, The HDRI Handbook was the first book to present this revolutionary new field to a larger audience. These days HDRI is a fully mature technology available to everyone. Real estate and landscape photographers have adopted it as part of their regular workflow, it has become one of the hottest trends for ambitious amateurs and creative professionals alike, and the modern movie industry would be completely dysfunctional without it.

It has been completely rewritten and is packed with practical hints and tips, background knowledge, reference tools, breathtaking artist portfolios, and inspiring interviews.

Beginners will get a methodically solid introduction and advanced readers will be able to refine their technique to perfection.

Whether you are a photographer, CG artist, compositor, or cinematographer, this book is sure to enlighten you.
