One of the most inportant things in holography is Lighting your subject. This is where some understanding of photography light will greatly enhance your holograms.
In photography lighting ther are 3 sometimes 4 main lights
1 main light (this is your objects main light and can be direct or defused)
2 Fill light (this light fill shadow areas and can be direct or defused)
3 Key light (or what we call kicker light is a higlight )
4 Background Light (this lights the background)
the ratos and type (direct or defused) lights will set the mood
would you like me to do a teaching thread on light? and how to apply this to holography?

You may be interested in "Stage Lighting Design" by Richard Pilbrow. It helped me.

Ok starting to put together a series of videos on Applying photographic lighting techniques to holography, and Applying the zone system to holography. This is nice because I have always wanted to cover this subject in detail, Joy Padiyar says its one of my strong points and realy makes my holograms stand out. So I will post the first one in a week, The 2 series will be about 10 videos 
one up each week

I attended a short lecture Danny did and it was great at covering the basics so I wait with baited breath the expansion of those ideas.
