What a great book. There is so much in here to use for reference that anyone interested in studio photography would benefit from it. This one is a real keeper and will reside on my bookshelf if I don’t pass it on to friends to read.
Great ideas, great set-up’s, and a really informative approach with excellent examples.

While this book is primarily written for professional studio photographers, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about the essentials required for good lighting. Although I am an accomplished studio photographer, I pick up this book from time to time to freshen up my approach. I have no reservations in telling a potential buyer that this book offers more bang for the buck than any photography book I own. Don’t wait, buy this book and take your work to the next level.

This is a great book for the studio shooter who is ready to go beyond the basics ( there are tons of those books already on the market) . I see this as a great studio reference book for an active studio person who asks themselves “how do I shoot…?”
Particularly helpful is the authors approach to the exacting aspects of studio shooting, and his displays of progressions of lighting set-up. Very helpful.
Two thumbs up on this one…

This is a basic book… Saying that, there are some basic principles that most of the professionals do not know.
I believe that some of the concepts explained in the book will be always in my background when using artificial lighting in a photo. Besides these conceptual lessons, there are also some interesting “tips and tricks” that everyone can repeat. Definitely a book that deserves a reading!
