Product Description
Lighting is a fundamental concern for the studio photographer, and The Studio Photographer’s Lighting Bible explores lighting from every angle. This book explains all the commercial, practical, technical, and creative issues to identify how studio photographers can work successfully with other professionals and make the best and most creative lighting choices in their work. Interviews with lighting specialists from other disciplines, including theater, film, concerts, and galleries, as well as stylists, photographer’s assistants, make-up artists, and picture editors, give the photographer innovative ideas and the understanding needed to work as part of a team. Case studies with showcase images and lighting diagrams, plus information specific to the main photographic market, make The Studio Photographer’s Lighting Bible a must-have for every working photographer.

3 out of 5 stars Quite disappointed...   April 21, 2008
This book is definitely not what I expected. Too brief lighting information for every setup, not supporting the book title. Hardly any discussion of the lighting, just a description how to arrange it (with little explanation how and why it works). A lot of extra discussions which one would not expect looking at the title (for example, how the author arranged a stylist for a model shoot). I would prefer fewer arrangements with more discussion of the lighting, or at least a change of the title.

At the same time I bought "Creative Lighting Techniques for Studio Photographers" by Dave Montizambert. That I consider a much better choice to understand how studio lighting works and get creative ideas.



4 out of 5 stars Great Book but over my head( make that over my budget)   April 10, 2008

Good book. But I just have a home studio (Hasselblad, Novarton 3 head set up) seemed like everything had 2 BIG soft boxes plus 3 to 5 more strobes, geared towards a much larger studio. Lots of thing I think I can glean out, A good book!!! Not what I wanted, But a real good book, Goes into lighting of People, still lives, Pets, Food Lots of Cool Information

At the middle of last year I opened a photo studio. So, I can say, I'm still beginner int this topic. So, this book was very helpful for me to gt advance knowledge about art of making great photos.

2 out of 5 stars Lighting Bible? Definitely NOT   January 13, 2008
 9 out of 9 found this review helpful

This book does not live up to it's title. If you are looking for a technical reference book to all aspects of studio lighting, lighting equipment, technology and techniques then you will be disappointed.
This book gives simple examples of different subjects and genres with nice photo's and a basic description of the lighting setup involved.
I'm only an amateur and found this book disappointing as I thought I'd find all my answers and learning in one book. I'm going to have to purchase individual books on studio lighting get the technical help I was looking for.
