Book Reviews of Light: Science and Magic: An Introduction to Photographic Lighting

Book Review: Absolutely excellent guide to the understanding/use of light
Summary: 5 Stars

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.
