Editorial Reviews

Review

"For me, this book comes into the category of 'I'm not sure how I ever managed without it'. It is so comprehensive that a list of the contents would virtually constitute a book review in itself.

Reading though the book, it is this attention to detail that continually strikes you, making it invaluable to any lighting cameraman. All in all, I can't sum it up any better than the quote on the back cover from lighting director John O'Donnell, who says, 'Learn how to get it right first time!.' "
Tony Grant, Zerb Magazine (The Journal of the Guild of Television Cameramen)

"...suitable for anyone looking at a career as a DoP or lighting cameraman, or even those who have already started...Recommended." Lighting and Sound
