Book Reviews of The Studio Photographer's Lighting Bible

Book Review: Quite disappointed...
Summary: 3 Stars

This book is definitely not what I expected. Too brief lighting information for every setup, not supporting the book title. Hardly any discussion of the lighting, just a description how to arrange it (with little explanation how and why it works). A lot of extra discussions which one would not expect looking at the title (for example, how the author arranged a stylist for a model shoot). I would prefer fewer arrangements with more discussion of the lighting, or at least a change of the title.

At the same time I bought "Creative Lighting Techniques for Studio Photographers" by Dave Montizambert. That I consider a much better choice to understand how studio lighting works and get creative ideas.

Summary of The Studio Photographer's Lighting Bible

Lighting is a fundamental concern for the studio photographer, and The Studio Photographer’s Lighting Bible explores lighting from every angle. This book explains all the commercial, practical, technical, and creative issues to identify how studio photographers can work successfully with other professionals and make the best and most creative lighting choices in their work. Interviews with lighting specialists from other disciplines, including theater, film, concerts, and galleries, as well as stylists, photographer’s assistants, make-up artists, and picture editors, give the photographer innovative ideas and the understanding needed to work as part of a team. Case studies with showcase images and lighting diagrams, plus information specific to the main photographic market, make The Studio Photographer’s Lighting Bible a must-have for every working photographer.
