Book Reviews of Lighting Photo Workshop
Book Review: Two thumbs up!!! Way up!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend this book and feel it would be a rewarding experience for anyone who owns a camera. I can't imagine that there is a photographer (beginner or expert or someone it between) that would not benefit from this book. Everything a photographer needs to know about lighting can be found in this book---everything.
Whether you're an average point and shoot picture taker or a professional, you need to know how light and proper lighting work to take and make great photographs. This book taught me everything I need to know about lighting, and it provided practical guidance with a slight twist of theory. There are numerous examples of photos with detailed explanations and lighting diagrams, and each of them are very informative---but not to the point that it's overwhelming. The photographs in the book are just wonderful. The author does a great job of demonstrating the effects of various elements. The text has a smooth flow, and I felt like the author was showing me how to work with light rather than telling me. The entire book was very well prepared and objective. The author describes in great detail how lighting works, and how to use what light you do (or don't) have to obtain the best pictures possible.
What I really really really really loved about this book is that a novice photographer, like me, can easily understand and benefit from this book. I've read other photography/lighting books that are full of jargon, and I lost interest right away because I don't have a background in photography---I just like to take pictures. Some of the areas do get technical, but the author does it without being dry and patronizing. Anyone intimidated or confused by the subject of lighting should read this book because it's concise, informational and it all made sense. Practicing and experimenting with my camera and the lighting techniques was fun, and I looked forward to each assignment at the end of the chapters to try my newly acquired skills.
A must have book for any photographer!
