Artificial Lighting for Photography
"Artificial Lighting for Photography by McKenzie and Overturf is an accessible and effective approach to the material, especially so since it is written from the standpoint of a practitioner. Anyone looking to start out with controlled lighting, or to improve their skills, will find it easy to learn a great deal from this book." - Jim Stone is an exhibiting artist who uses photography. His work has been exhibited and published internationally and is represented in the permanent collections of major museums. He has written or co-authored several books on photography that are used as textbooks, and he currently teaches in the Department of Art and Art History at the University of New Mexico."Joy McKenzie and Daniel Overturf have created a great new teaching tool with Artificial Lighting for Photography, Delmar Learning. This book covers every aspect of using lighting in the studio and presents it with passion and insight that I have not seen in a long time. Concepts and equipment are thoroughly explained and the examples used are very well done. I heartily endorse this new teaching tool. In the age of the internet it's great to have a text such as this one to better explain the concepts and foundations behind studio lighting. Five stars for me." - Richard Newman, Director of Education, Calumet Photographic
