 Sadly, a disappointment. July 18, 2008
I wanted to like this book very badly, but it pretty much flopped.
Please preview the book at the store online or in a store before you buy it. It's not very full of helpful teachings as other books out there.
You'd be much better off buying Light: Science and Magic: An Introduction to Photographic Lighting and Creative Lighting Techniques for Studio Photographers which are amazing.
 A Great Survey Of Studio Lighting July 15, 2008
The original review from [...]: This is one of those books that you open and think "hey, it's a food photography book" - because that's what the first chapter covers in detail. Beyond food, you'll find great stories and how-to about the creation of solid photography in the realms of product, fashion, jewelry, nature, thematic and automotive. I managed to glean great tips and insights from every chapter. A great value for the price.

Good book with lots of information, if your into specialty photography. I was hoping for more info on portrait, ommitting the special effects.
nice book May 15, 2008
I like that book. I'm learing a lot of professional lighting solutions ... And I think it's a good book for pro photographer.
 Great book, but not an instruction manual February 23, 2008

I'm an intermediate photographer and I bought this book looking to gain insight into studio lighting. I found that this book will appeal to commercial shooters and those looking to get their foot in the door. The work is amazing and I enjoyed the commentary provided by the professionals that took the shots. I never imagined the amount of thought and planning that goes into what appears to be a straight forward shot. Though it provides a few lighting diagrams, this is not a "how to" manual. Nor is it a people photography book. That said I believe the information useful for working with a wide range of subjects. It also provides insight into the equipment, challenges and (especially) the standards required to be successful.
