"Exceptional. A number of students I know have bought this and so they should. Informative and inspiring." -- (Praise for the first edition) K. J. Shepherdson, Canterbury Christ Church University, UK "The Lighting text is one of the best I have come across thus far; thorough, clear, well-designed, great examples." -- Michelle Given, Murray State University, USA "Unlike the usual approach, Präkel not only considers studio light but all light as the basis for building a picture. Outstanding point of view, backed by visual proof and succinct but juicy text.

Can't help but recomend to everyone in photography education or trade!" -- Armando Vilas-Boas, Institute of Visual Arts, Design & Marketing, Portugal "A very useful book which will support students in First Year as they engage with the technical and aesthetic uses of lighting in photography." -- Tracy Piper-Wright, University of Chester, UK "Essential guide for students with clear chapters, content and examples." -- Claire Sambrook, University of Portsmouth, UK "A stimulating and thought-provoking overview of photography's application since its modern inception." -- Norwich University of the Arts, UK.
