Editorial Reviews
Review
"The first book on photographic lighting that is worth using as a text. Light - Science and Magic is about principles, not cheap tricks or the authors' portfolio."
-Pete Christman, Savannah College of Art and Design.

"This revision is really an extraordinary accomplishment in offering a thorough understanding and application of lighting. The authors new approach, with updated illustrations and lessons makes for both a good read and great textbook. I would recommend this book for any lighting class, from basic to the most advanced course."

-Dennis Keeley
Chair of Photography and Imaging
Art Center College of Design


"Any time you have a book that makes it to the third edition, you have a winner."

"If you are a photographer of any type, especially on who does studio work, this is a must have reference."

"The added bonus is that the topics learned from this book will never go out of date."

-BC Books (May 2007)
