Available Light Images Ltd was established in 2005 by Scottish Photographer Alister Benn and his wife Juanli Sun. Alister has been writing professionally for the last 7 years, and has finally built up the experience and reputation to produce a range of educational material designed around the three stages of his Photographic Process.

VISION | TECHNIQUES | PROCESSING

Alister is developing a complete range of products based on his Language of Light Program, which aims to teach photographers to be articulate and expressive with their images.

The material will be delivered in a tiered system as shown on the right.

In addition to our own publications and courses listed on the Harvesting Light site, we will be featuring reviews of many eBooks, Books & Audiovisual products we believe offer great value to our many clients and viewers.

From time to time we will also feature reviews of Gear, Software & Applications.

eBooks & Online Courses

Both of these learning tools will be available through Harvesting Light.net online.

About our LOGO

For many years, we have had a base in the town of Lijiang, in the Chinese Province of Yunnan. There has been an ancient town here for over 800 years, the traditional wood and stone buildings even surviving a devastating earthquake in 1996.

The local ethnic minority are the Naxi, and they have a fascinating language and culture, called the Dongba. The pictographic language is colorful and literal, and we consulted with a local teacher to design a Dongba Symbol that represents Harvesting Light.

The figure is actually stretching his legs, a reflection that he may have been sitting for some time waiting for the Available Light to be right for his images.

An Introduction to Photographing Landscapes at Night is a short, but content rich overview of the essential tools and techniques required to start a journey into shooting after sunset.

This is the little brother to Seeing the Unseen, which is a much more thorough and comprehensive book on the subject of Landscape Photography at Night.

Finding Your Voice

Harvesting Light – Finding Your Voice is the first in a long series of forthcoming eBooks and Videos discussing The Language of Light.

It is an introduction to the concept that photography is a visual language, and in order for our photographs to be expressive and articulate, you first have to decide what it is we want to say.
