 A basic guide, nothing unique or interesting Nov 24, 2007
By Zirgaliam
This guide is great for the beginner, but as someone who has been in the photography world for years, I was hoping for something that would push my creative lighting skills. This book definitely did not do that. I also found it to be incredibly boring. While the model shots could be nice for the right person, the hundreds of shots of volleyballs were just horrible. Unless you are a true beginner, skip this book.

 Useful book for new photographers Apr 18, 2011
By Abdulrahman Aljabri
I had the opportunity to browse this book extensively and as a professional photographer I found few new things to learn. For example, the author puts an effort to educate the reader about tools that are rarely discussed in lighting books such as panels. There is a whole section that is dedicated to illustrating the different effects one can produce from changing the position of the light behind the panel without moving the panel from its original position.
Another section discusses dramatic lighting techniques to light food and products. In a later section the author discusses his way of lighting interiors. While I don't use his interior lighting method, it is interesting to learn for when I need something different at some point in time.
The portrait lighting section was pretty weak compared to other available books on lighting, but that is the point. This book offers allot of useful information in areas that other books don't cover and that is why it is unique and useful. Defiantly recommended for new photographers interested in divers lighting techniques that go beyond portraiture lighting.

Incredible insight Dec 15, 2007
By Angela Morrissey
"Angie"
What a book. This book takes you from step one all the way to the final stages of photographic lighting. This is what my teachers weren't teaching me. This is a real world application of commercial photography for any photographer at any level. It has helped me comprehend how the simple basics of lighting grow into complex shots that are based upon simple yet exact theories. Wonderfully illustrated and executed.
