    Great Discussion of Lighting Theory
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2012*

This is a good book for photographers who want to take a more methodical approach to lighting. Building upon the earlier book about subject centric lighting, it's a detailed discussion on how to lighting interacts with different subjects, leading to intentional artistic choices and image design. Each aspect of light/subject interaction is explored with discussion and example images, in some cases different variations on the same subject. The area of subjects is fairly broad, from people, to food, to still life, and environmental - showing that when one understands the theory, it works in all those areas. The book does not really go into specific lighting equipment or modifiers, but really focuses on the core parameters of light and its qualities.The book is a good refresher for experienced photographers - who may know most of this inherently, but may not have put it into a framework. It's definitely a good read for advanced amateurs interested in taking their lighting to the next level and beyond following a set formula. But it assumes a solid knowledge and experience with studio lighting equipment, and there is no discussion on how to use the lighting gear, just what the results will be (a good thing).I'm glad to see this book published. It's refreshing to see books that cover the theory in an approachable way, and as a quality read.My only gripe would be that the layout of the book is awkward at times. Because of the topic, some of the image captions are lengthy, and that disrupts the page flow.

    Great Book
  

*by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2014*

This book gives good insight into the nature of light as it relates to photography.  it is not a "how to" guide, he doesn't say "place model here, place flash here, place diffuser here"  He is teaching us how to "see" the light and how to manipulate it to get the desired outcome.  For those reading this review and don't know who Don Giannatti is.....google him...he know what he's talking about!

    Not the same old approach
  

*by G***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2012*

I stumbled upon Don's Lighting Essential website at the beginning of 2012 and when I saw that he was writing a new book, I was eager for my copy to arrive.There are several good lighting books available but Don's approach is not a regurgitation of the same old approach. He starts with the subject and works back to the camera. In taking this approach, it is not what will happen if I put a light here but rather what of the subject do I want to reflect back to me. This deliberate approach  takes you from a haphazard approach and gets you closer to being able to visualize the end product.If you want a book that rounds out what others teach you and gives you plenty of ah hah moments, this is the one.
