 Most Informative Lighting Book I've Read March 8, 2000
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
As a professional Product Photographer I am always looking for new insight into the craft of studio photography. I found that the authors of "Light Science & Magic" managed to compile a wealth of lighting knowledge and convey the info in such a way that is easy to digest and understand. My one complaint is that the inferior binding caused the book to fall apart as I read it.

Whether you're a beginner with a point-and-shoot or a professional with a huge investment in equipment, you need to know how light works. This book can teach you everything you need to know. It has both theory and practical guidance. The authors don't tell you which lights to use in a given situation -- they teach you how to determine what lighting to use to achieve the effect _you_ want. And they help you select lighting equipment. To be fair, it's not always an easy read (there's a lot of theory and some math/physics to wade through), but it's worth the effort. I saw the difference in the next roll I shot. I only wish I had found this book a few years ago...
Absolutely excellent guide to the understanding/use of light May 31, 1999

Anyone intimidated or confused by the subject of artificial/studio lighting must read this book. Very well prepared and very objective. The author describes how lighting WORKS, not how HE does it. Text is filled with numerous example photos and lighting diagrams. No experience with lighting is necessary to appreciate this book, but a solid photography background and a little understanding of physics helps. Top Notch.
Demystifies studio lighting by explaining the science behind March 21, 1998

Really good book for a beginner to understand the basics of photographic lighting. Takes up each type of material and goes logically through lighting the material up. By the end you get a grasp of the concepts which you can use to light up any subject. Must Read for aspiring photographers.
