Product Description
Presenting the tools needed to create and control photographic lighting with either digital capture or film, this book shows how to perfect lighting in the studio as well as on location. The tips in this resource cover the principles and rules of lighting that are not confined to any single pursuit, thus giving photographers an understanding of the rudiments of light and lighting, rather than a series of limited solutions that work only in certain situations. In addition to sample images, the book includes numerous diagrams and detailed captions that explain why and when particular lighting methods are chosen, as well as how they are executed. A technical book with an in-depth exploration of lighting, this resource will assist any photographer in understanding varying light conditions in both the studio and the natural world.

I am big fan of Glenn Rand’s book. He is incredibly knowledeable and knows his subject inside and out. Amherst Media is my favorite photography publisher and the two have created yeat another great book!
The content is a little different than other books which makes this a keeper!. My collection of Amherst books just keeps growing and growing.
I highly recommend this book. I have referred to it a few times since first getting it…..not something I can say about ALL my books in my library.
I hope that you enjoy it. :-)

I did enjoy this book, however it wasn’t quite what I had expected. I was looking for a studio lighting book and this has both studio and environment lighting. it isn’t as extensive in the studio lighting as I would have liked.

This is an intriguing and helpful book on lighting for photography. Utilizing terms that I did not generally associate with photography, the author explains light in simple terms. His careful description of numerous light sources is beneficial to a total understanding of lighting and how it works. A very well presented textbook.

Everything you wanted to know about light and lighting is covered. Harnessing light to carry the images visualized ties together this nicely written book that is interesting and informative from cover to cover. As I read through I learned a lot about things I have heard of or taken for granted but did not know of in detail. I recommend this book and feel it would be a rewarding experience for anyone.
