### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Go Kelby's way, or get the knowledge and critical foundation, can't do both
*by R***N on November 1, 2016*

I bought this book as soon as I read someone saying "if you like Scott Kelby's books this one is NOT for you ...". I cannot stand Kelby's literature, the man cannot take a half-decent photo once. He is a living proof how worthless yet complete knowledge of inner workings of Photoshop will take yiou absolutely nowhere in visualaspectof photography. Why am I saying this here? This book, as expected form description and most reviewers, is about how light works. Like everything else, if you care to have command of light youdo need to get involve in its physics. This is thorough albeit expectedly hard read at times, but stick with it, perhaps push yourself through when read seems a bit overwhelming, but you will be glad yiou did ... eventually. Nothing ever works as Kelbys describe things as every case if different. If yoiu believe in self-claimed "masters" (like Kelby) then surely continue on his path to never reaching your own potential. But if you care to distance yourself from the common myths Kelby describes on nearly page of his books, get this, get inside the subject, split time between shooting to your heart's desire and getting to know the few main yet relevgant principles. The results will come on their own without you ever noticing the moment they did.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Light, Science and Magic
*by O***N on June 22, 2020*

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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What Every Photographer Should Know
*by E***D on July 4, 2021*

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.
