RE: A shoot with Kelsey - original portrait photography on location
See if you can find this book: https://www.amazon.com/Light-Science-Magic-Introduction-Photographic/dp/0415719402
In a library nearby.
It is extraordinarily valuable (minus the default sticker price of textbooks!) - but it discusses the nature of all sorts of light, whether it comes from the star burning away 8 light minutes away, or the one powered by some handheld batteries.
I recently picked up a copy, read it, and I feel so much more in control, whether I'm using available, or artificial light.
Interesting, that looks like a very different, more scientific, approach to light in photography. I need to try and find it to at least have a little browse.
