Cinematography for Directors: A Guide for Creative Collaboration Review: Great advice for directors - I love love love this book! If you're like me, as a director all the actors stuff I got down. However, the technical stuff not so much. I bought a DSLR camera with lenses to get an understand of photography and I have a hard time understanding exposer and how to use a light meter, DoF and how all those work together to get a great shot. I don't understand the language of a cinematographer. I've read the most complicated Cinematography books when I was in film school and this book was the first time it all just clicked for me. The author explains the information in a way that not only do I understand but I can take out into the field immediately. I can read a chapter about lenses and take my camera out and use what I've learned. That is so refreshing to do. I spent so much time with other material trying to understand some mathematical foreign language. Also it's a great resource to carry around and refer back to, but the information is so easy to understand that you will get it in your head quickly and use less of the book as a reference. I feel a lot more technically savvy now thanks to this book. Review: Cinematog 4 Directors - Great book. Very insightful as I am a filmmaker. Currently making music videos and will be doing a web series and some shorts in the very near future. Just beginning this book has enhanced my engagements with lighting scenes and or developing moods to the situations and scenes. I love the fact that different cinematographers share their views and perspectives to their given situations and how they approach them. It greatly increased my knowledge of this subject. Simply lighting a scene is not what cinematography is. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of this book when I complete some of my projects. I'm sure it will be a multiple read. The book is not a hard read either. Great book and asset of knowledge! ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #385,754 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #390 in Movie Direction & Production #2,843 in Performing Arts (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 55 Reviews | ## Images ![Cinematography for Directors: A Guide for Creative Collaboration - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51vIxhceH1S.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great advice for directors *by C***S on June 12, 2011* I love love love this book!

I thought it was a great place for beginners, especially ones like me who have never been to film school. It goes though the basics of the cinematographers world, making it easier for the two collaborators to understand each other. I also recommend Shot by Shot. A must have for all directors and cinematographers. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cinematography for Directors: A Guide for Creative Collaboration - Aristotle's Poetics for Screenwriters: Storytelling Secrets From the Greatest Mind in Western Civilization --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/3652690-cinematography-for-directors-a-guide-for-creative-collaboration](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/3652690-cinematography-for-directors-a-guide-for-creative-collaboration) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
