Comments about Wiley Publications Book: Lighting Photo Workshop:
This book is written in a comfortable, approachable manner that makes it easy to take to heart. Simple rules backed up with MULTIPLE images for each, complete with full details for clarification. The photographs themselves show a great range of conditions and decision-making, which is helpful to a wider audience. The Photo Workshop series is a nice collection with a good focus on those who like to really know what they're doing, not fake it and save it with Photoshop later. Very well done.

Comments about Wiley Publications Book: Lighting Photo Workshop:
This books is an excellent primer on lighting for photography. I am a novice photographer, but found the book to be very informative from a theoretical standpoint, but more important, a great source of practical application of lighting theory to the actual taking of photographs.
I recently vacationed in France and I believe my pictures were far better based on the information provided in this book.
