5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book ... Written for beginners and experts, May 14, 2001

This review is from: How to Control & Use Photographic Lighting (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is well written and very informative. Though dated, it discusses the subject lucidly and in a manner very relevant to a pholographer today. It answers the simple issues faced by beginners in detail. Is very well illustrated and teaches how to light people and things both indoors and outdoors. I think this book is an excellent reference: to read as a beginner and then to come back to as one progresses in their skills and faces problems.
