What kind of light modifier you can apply to promote an especific mood into a scene, and how to meter the light and make a correct exposure.

Tony Corbell is THE master of photographic light. Even though I attended one of his classes some years ago, I found his book a pleasant refresher that reminded me of a few things I sometimes overlook. Tony has the rare combination of mastery of photographic light and the ability to explain what he knows. all terms are explained completely. This is a must-read for anyone serious about photography.

I've taken workshops with Tony and watched his CreativeLive classes and he is definitely one of the top instructors for lighting around today. I purchased the Kindle version of the book and the formatting is perfect for me, so any issues have been resolved and feel confident buying this book.

Tony Corbell has been in the photography business for a long time; he knows how to light a scene and lives with the light meter; it's essential for good photos all the time; no snapping the photo then looking at the screen or histogram;

Very well written treatise on using light, from multiple points, quality, quantity, direction, and color. Easy to follow the many examples. I would recommend this for any photographer who wants a better understanding of light and its impact on a photograph.

Tony is a great teacher and this book is filled with his vast knowledge. I highly recommend it and am glad I have all of this information in one spot to refer to over and over again.

What a great book. Form basics to advanced shooting, Tony covers it all in a concise easy to read book. This book will definitely help improve my photography! Thanks Tony!!!
