“Making a pleasing light and shadow pattern for its own sake is insufficient; photography has to do more than satisfy the aesthetic sense. If photography is to be more than a reproductive medium, it must condense and simplify reality; it must individualise our own vision of life, and stimulate associations of thought and emotion.”
Nurnberg’s fundamental work of photographic literature shows how lights and lighting create a portrait.
