I think these books are great as they teach you a lot and I can read them and underline important information about them as well. I'd rather read these than watch DVDs.

I am just starting it but its good so far.

I also have the composition book and that was a good one too. These series are great.

I highly recommend these books to anyone who wants to learn about photography or even refresh themselves with it.

Great reference for your photography library!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 18, 2011

Verified Purchase

This book covers all the basic photography lighting scenarios you could possibly find yourself in. Explanations are succinct and detailed and won't leave you questioning. The assignments at the end of each chapter are well-worth doing just to make sure you understand all the issues discussed in the chapter just concluded.

Great as a textbook, but one you will reach for when you need a refresher or reminder about a technique.

Basic Technique Well Explained, Good Examples

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 13, 2008

Verified Purchase

I own this book and "Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson". Both books are outstanding with regards to emphasis on Basic Exposure Techniques. Chris Bucher has provided plenty of illustrations, and wherever applicable he has commented on camera technique and ability of post processing to fix incorrect exposures. Plenty of systematic exercises to practice technique. Book is well-priced, and every enthusiast will benefit from a few tips. Very well priced. Must have for an amatuer...

Poorly edited, numerous spelling mistakes and way overpriced. Read Bryan Peterson or Michael Freeman instead. Hugely disappointed in this rambling monologue.

A one-size-fits-all Lighting book doesn't cut it in an already crowded field

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on December 30, 2007

Verified Purchase

After reading the impressive Photo Workshop Series "Composition" book by Blue Fier, I expected this book to build upon that base of knowledge and move the reader to the next level. Instead, I learned that lighting is a basic ingredient for good composition, and if you understand good composition, reading about lighting is redundant. This book fails to build upon basic composition techniques, nor is it a proper first read for a beginning photographer to start off with.

Lighting has many specialized subfields, and a one-size-fits-all lighting book underwhelms all audiences. Novice photographers would be better served by reading a book on composition. Advanced users will want more details on studio lighting, gray cards, night/low light photography, or using handheld light meters. Neither audience is well served by this book. The night & low light chapter was especially disappointing for me, with very little practical advice.

The author could have improved the book by adding before & after teaching pictures in the book (e.g. various good and bad exposures of the same picture, direct versus bounced flash, snow pictures with/without a gray card) showing how applying the techniques improves the photograph. Instead, the author presents his photography exhibit throughout the book. While his photos are very impressive, they lack teaching acumen.

A far better book is "Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson. I also suggest the "Composition Photo Workshop" by Blue Fier as the one book in the PWS series that is a must-read. Both books combined have better teaching photographs (before & after). They also both have easy to remember advice on metering in night and low light conditions, and will give readers a much more rounded perspective on how to take a great picture.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 23, 2013

Verified Purchase

This book by Chris Bucher is an excellent portrayal of photographic lighting. It is written in an easily read format at a level which will not belittle those whom are well versed in the field already but is also an excellent introduction to those approaching this subject with minimal experience.
I have recommended it to all my level 2 City and Guild course colleagues.
