## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Saved me money the first day
  

*by G***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2001*

I love the approach in this easy to read book. The authors' philosophy is to be as creative in as many ways as possible, even down to improvising equipment and overcoming lack thereof. If, say, candles will suffice, then why use strobes? I feared a huge shopping list for my foray into the world of studio lighting. This very helpful alternative to months of expensive experimentation has shown me a more structured approach, the focus being on Return on Investment while maximising results.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent for the beginer and the experienced DP
  

*by G***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2006*

This book goes back to first principals and clarifies things that many of us have picked up by experience without really thinking about them.  It starts by talking about the difference between diffuse and direct reflection which makes books like "Lighting for Digital Video & Television, Second Edition" and "Matters of Light and Depth" more valuable for the beginner.  It also talks about subjects like lighting extreme contrast, glass and specular metal objects which will benefit anyone doing table top shooting as well as outdoors.  The section on portraits shows what works and why in a really useful way.  They don't promulgate rules but give you the tools to think through what you want yourself.  This book is like the sound books by Jay Rose an essential for every level.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Things, not people
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2013*

Very thorough coverage of lighting everything but people.  Presents concepts for a different point of view than most lighting books.
