Light Science & Magic: An Introduction to Photographic Lighting Review: What Every Photographer Should Know - This book is a classic, a must-have for every photographer. It is both technical and practical, addressing situations we all face in lighting objects in the studio. There are many books on the "how," but few like this one which excels in the "why" and "when." It puts to rest the myth that crossed-polarizers are the universal answer to 3D lighting. Review: Light, Science and Magic - You need this book, unless you are a super-pro photographer. I have 10 or 12 photography books, from beginner to more advanced technique., most recommended by a professional photographer, (makes his living 100 % from photography). They will all have a chapter on lighting. Light, Science and Magic gathers all the lighting information in one book, 382 pages of it. There is lots of information on light placement, with diagrams and illustrative photos. The illustrations are of studio lighting, but work with multiple speedlights. There is a chapter on speed lights and how to set up your first studio. It explains reflections and how to overcome them, the family of angles, how to photograph metals, glass with light field and dark field. Ask 10 photographers what specular lighting is and you will get 12 different answers. Light, Science and Magic clarifies the meaning as well as how many photographers use it. It covers portraits, still life, museum exhibit photography, documents, artistic and documentary photography. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,277,960 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #31 in Flash Photography #118 in Photography Lighting (Books) #1,124 in Digital Photography (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (478) | | Dimensions | 7.75 x 1 x 9.25 inches | | Edition | 5th | | ISBN-10 | 0415719402 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0415719407 | | Item Weight | 2.34 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 382 pages | | Publication date | February 25, 2015 | | Publisher | Routledge | ## Images ![Light Science & Magic: An Introduction to Photographic Lighting - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81kXYnmyIPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What Every Photographer Should Know *by E***D on July 4, 2021* This book is a classic, a must-have for every photographer.
