      New: BRAND NEW PAPERBACK 9.25 by 7.52 inches. (326 pages) the book to own if you want to understand lighting light science and magic more than just provides set examples for photographers to follow. this international bestseller provides photographers with a comprehensive theory of the nature and principles of light to allow individual photographers to use lighting to express their own creativity. it will show you how to light the most difficult subjects such as surfaces, metal, glass, liquids, extremes (black-on-black and white-on-white), and people. with more information specific for digital photographers, a brand new chapter on equipment, much more information on location lighting, and more on photographing people, this brand new fourth edition will make it clear why this is one of the only recommended books by web. strobist[full stop]com * the lighting book for serious photographers * bestselling previous edition sold nearly 70, 000 copies globally * the only book that covers theory and physics of light * full of brand new info, specific to digital photography * loaded with new and inspiring full color photographs how to learn lighting, light, the raw material of photography, the management of reflection and the family of angles, surface appearances, revealing shape and contour, metal, the case of the disappearing glass, an arsenal of lights, the extremes, traveling light, index new: equipment, location lighting over the past several years, manufacturers have swamped photographers with a seemingly endless flood of truly amazing gear. new generations of cameras, lighting gear, high-resolution printers, and sophisticated software have revolutionized how photographers work and think. this book provides reader with a comprehensive theory of the nature and principles of light. this 4th edition includes dozens of new photographs and lighting diagrams, new information on how to work with color gels, portable strobes, motion, and more. --wetpaint[full stop]com this new edition of the book is based on the behavior of light, and its principles that will not change because the fundamental physics does not. light: science and magic is a book to deal adequately with how light behaves when it reflects from a surface and how the material making the subject determines the appearance of this reflection. this important understanding is not intended to enable photographer to shoot good pictures like those in this book but rather to transfer those images to any subject matter, using any equipment. --neopoprealismjournal[full stop]com i have used the 3rd edition of this book when i teach. the 4th edition improves on the earlier version and brings one up-to-date. this is a text i'll continue to recommend. this is a book that all photographers should have in their library. --lancaster camera club[full stop]org there are numerous photography books available and often it is difficult to make the right choice. 'light science and magic' definitely stands out from the bunch. this book can get very technical covering scientific end of how light works in all sorts of situations. do not expect to read this resource like a novel, unless you are like me and thrive on technical end of photography. however the book is not created for photography rocket scientists only. it's designed the way that even complex concepts are illustrated in diagrams that any visual folks can understand easily. 'light science and magic' fourth edition was just released at the end of 2011. all the info is up to date--learnmyshot[full stop]com biographicalnote: steven biver, virginia, usa, commercial photographer, former clients include adobe, mobil, newsweek, black and decker audiencedescription: * serious amateur to pro photographer (particularly commercial, studio, portrait, or product photographer rather than fine art) * photography students in lighting, commercial, studio, portrait, etc. courses (Paperback)
