Brief, but useful August 5, 2010
Image Print Reviews (Orange County)
This book makes up in useful information what it lacks in comprehensive coverage. You won't find everything you wanted to know about studio lighting techniques here -- there are plenty of other books that do that -- but you will find pithy nuggets that you can use immediately to improve your studio results, whether you are a seasoned pro or an amateur who is still learning the basics. Match this book with an introductory guide, and you'll be well on your way to lighting proficiency.
Chris is a great educator! June 2, 2010
Kirk Tuck (Austin, Texas)
I really like this book. Even though I'm pretty well versed in portrait lighting I always buy Chris's books because learning one or two more tricks is worth a bunch more than the cover price. And this book is no exception. For the person who wants to compete in the portrait market this is a valuable resource and one I would buy before the next lens or camera body. He knows his stuff, the illustrations are great and the tone of the book is easy going and easy to understand. My only slight criticism is that the title should make clear that the book is really aimed at Portrait photographers and not at general commercial photography. He is resolutely a people shooter and it shows in his easy rapport with the subjects and his total control of the lighting. I recommend this book to most of my assistants.
 Secrets that one should know: from amateur to professional April 19, 2010
Antonio Martins Ferreira (Portugal)
This is a basic book... Saying that, there are some basic principles that most of the professionals do not know.
I believe that some of the concepts explained in the book will be always in my background when using artificial lighting in a photo. Besides these conceptual lessons, there are also some interesting "tips and tricks" that everyone can repeat. Definitely a book that deserves a reading!
A must in your gear box Definately improve your photos rivchin March 15, 2010
Ron Rivchin (Florida)
This book is a must have in your studio.(ron) I have seen photographers greatly improve their photos in the studio. I highly recommend Sculpting with Light: Techniques for Portrait Photographers also rivchin
another excellent book from Mr. Grey! March 11, 2010
Mark Coons (Normal, IL USA)
I have read Mr. Grey's work before so when I purchased some studio lights recently I went looking for a book to assist me. When I found this book I stopped looking.
The examples are excellent (photos and diagrams) and as always the text is informative and easy to understand.
I highly recommend this book to anyone getting started with studio lighting. Learn from a master photographer!
