"It's all about the light". Serious photographers will hear this at seminars and read this in photography books. As far as I'm concerned, Tony is the Grand Master of light in photography. If you are on the path of learning photography, you need to learn how light works and this book is a must! And if you already ARE a professional photographer, this book is a great 'tutorial' in helping you to master this most important aspect of photography. Every photographer has their own vision, but this book is a tool to take your images to the next level.

The author, Tony Cobell is amazing with light. This book is definitely what you need to learn more. I highly recommend it.

As far as the review about the Kindle format, that happens with a lot of really great books. It's a Kindle issue, not the author or content.

Formatting sucks.

Tony is a great teacher; one of the best. I've bought many of his videos from Creative Live, and watched them from other sources.

But the publisher has screwed up the formatting in the Kindle edition, so that the captions for the photographs and examples runs over the bottom third to half of the image, rendering it unviewable, and the text unreadable.

Don't buy in this format until the publisher logs in and says it's repaired. I've purchased plenty of photo books on my Kindle, and none has had this problem.

The key to photography is lighting and Tony is the foremost authority in lighting technique and principles. As a disciple of lighting genius Dean Collins, whose ground breaking instructional videos Tony produced, he has taken his vast experience and teaches/writes in a manner that is technical yet understandable. There are so called "teachers" out there that think they know lighting but you can tell they don't truly understand it. Tony KNOWS lighting and you won't be disappointed in his teaching.

After 30+ years in photography I still learn things from him, so I'm certain it would apply to those that read his book. Not only that, I am sure if you reached out to him with a question(s) at a seminar, a convention or even via Facebook he would be more than happy to help you. He's one of the nicest gentleman you will ever meet and one of the best in the industry.

First, full disclosure. I work with Tony and a couple images in the book are mine. That said, this is really a wonderful book. Tony has a way of explaining photographic lighting that just makes sense. As you read through the book he shares his vast wealth of experience in a way that helps you learn the how and why.

This is not a recipe or formula book. He's not going to layout lighting diagrams and give you exposure values so that you can copy a specific setup. Instead you'll understand what to look for in your lighting and have the confidence to create your own layouts. If location lighting is your interest then this is definitely a book for you.

This book will give you a great amount of knowledge about light, where to find it in quantity and quality. He also talks about blocking or subtracting light which many photographers don't understand. Tony is the master of light. He is a great photographer. In my opinion, he is a genius in photography.
