4.0 out of 5 stars Solid guide to product lighting, April 17, 2000

By A Customer

This is a very well-illustrated guide to product photography in the tradition of Pro-Lighting series. It provides numerous clear and concise examples of how to light a variety of products from huge to tiny sized. It is not meant for a beginner, but for someone who is already familiar with how to use a variety of studio lighting instruments.

This book does not really explain how to apply different lighting techniques, but offers many suggestions for starting points with different setups. It is a good start for stimulating creativity with product lighting.
