 A lighting guru!!! June 16, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book, and Chris Grey's DVD's (Shoot Smarter) are FANTASTIC!
The easy to understand diagrams, the unique and creative techniques and the overview of styles is second to none...
After buying this book on Amazon I was so impressed that I actually flew from California to Chicago to take a 4 day class from the author at Shoot Smarter University (Will Crocket's studio in Arora, IL).
In all of my training, and with all my EXPENSIVE equipment purchases in camera equipment, NOTHING has improved my creative and technical output like Chris Grey's books, training, and videos...
As I say to my friends, "I have drank the Kool-Aid that is Chris Grey's teaching and I am an evangelical believer in his techniques". I now have the confidence to shoot JPEGs and not worry about my "recovery" in PhotoShop!
Other GREAT books by Chris Grey include Photoshop Effects for Portrait Photographers (Focal Press) and an up-coming book about Canon Cameras (Fall 07).
HIGHLY reccomended!
 Get your fundamentals here! June 8, 2007
This book will really begin your fundamentals! Not having this means you really will need 8 years of photography school! This is the beginning!
Lighten up and your pictures won't be Grey, here's how May 22, 2007

This book offers a great look at most of the tools of the trade for making, bending, transforming light and it shows what can be archieved with these lightsources with rows of pictures that show subtle variations with each source, supplemented by easy to understand diagrams. Read the supporting text, it's kept to the absolute necessary and very usefull. In short, this book gives you the solid fundamentals that you can make you own step by step. A bit sad that Christopher doesn't show more beautiful pictures with good light useage, but then again it delivers the goods of explaining the application of light, the rest is up to you !
Finally - A photography book worth the price May 16, 2007

This book is superb on all levels and for all skill levels. Experts will
be challenged for sure, but amateurs can roll with it. I currently fall
in between, so I can see myself referring to this again and again in order
to perfect my skills.
The author definitely knows how to write. Simply the best photography
author I've read in years. He does not make a point without illustrating it.
Some critics of the book complain he uses expensive and advanced
studio lighting. This is true, but then again it's not a book for weekend warriors.
 decent but outdated April 18, 2007

This book is decent but a bit outdated. The photos are too 80s and do not reflect techniques or the look that are reflective of our time.
