5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing book for light setup, for studio and 3D work, January 13, 2001
I work as a computer artist an animator, and constantly search for good books on lighting. In my opinion, this is one of the best lighting books available to the artist, along with the classic from John Alton "Painting with Light". Still Life (PLS) gives simple explanations of light setup, digramatic views of the situation, as well as comments from the photographers about what they were trying to achieve, and why they did certain procedures.

The light setups here are easily adaptable to suit whatever still life (including products) you are photographing/rendering, and I have found it easy to adapt certain lights used into the realm of 3D computer graphics (soft boxes etc are easy to recreate....)

This book should really be part of all film/photographers/artists/animators reference material... I only wish they did a hardback version, as i fear this is going to get used very often.

Oh, the book is extremely well printed, in full colour, on good quality paper, giving an exceptional calirity of image, something unique for the price... All too often books on lighting and colour are in black and white... hahahahhahahaha.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best series on lighting currently available., November 18, 1997
By A Customer
This series has the clearest diagrams to help you understand how to set up your lighting for all types of problems and challenges. Anyone serious about learning studio lighting techniques should have these books as references and idea generators.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clearly written, good diagrams, interesting illustrations, October 4, 1999
By A Customer
When you thumb through this book, your are immediately impressed with the lighting subjects included. Many are not the usual cliches found in books of this type. The diagrams and text are clear and easy to understand. Good book, glad I bought it.
