I remember reading this as a youngster, and I wish I could recall exactly where I read it so I could reference it properly: "Every business speaks to itself in its own language. There is no Rosetta Stone." Read the first page

I really can't fault this. I am a professional photographer, but one is always experimenting and practicing, and it's always good to see how other people do it.
Considering the plethora of books on this subject around, and the fact that most of them are either a) directed at newbies/amateurs. or b) just generally misinformed, rubbish, or both, this one hits the nail on the head. It works both for beginners and advanced users, and explains in simple terms what is needed to produce the right effect. It doesn't rely on jargon, and is well laid out and uses good examples accompanied by both photos and diagrams. We've had enough "idiots guides", this is simply a practical guide - thoroughly thumbs up.
It's a really good reference manual without getting too heavy, and I refer back to it regularly. If you have any interest at all in studio photography, this is the one book you need.

Very easy to read, a lot of images and diagrams to describe how lights can change images and subjects. Clearly marked lighting equipment makes easier to set up yourself in studios.
This book is quite thin but a lot of information for you to carry around in case you need another lighting. This book just works. Worth having it with you.

I'm an amateur photographer and doing this for more than 7 years but mostly I do outdour photography. This book was really helpfull for me, since I had not so much knowledge in indoor photography. Before that I didn't know anything about calculation of light which comes from several sources, what kinds of light are and how they can be combined and so on.
I do recommend this book to anyone who had no or not so many knowledge in indoor lighting and wants to have some basics and start making some nice (at least well lighted) portraits.
