Reviews
"You get all the basics in this book, including a very comprehensive overview of what is out there in lighting, but they go way beyond the basics, including how to survey a location simply to avoid problems cropping up later in the shoot...The other great thing I find very helpful in this book are all the practical tips of the trade that are regularly slipped into the text...There's a fund of really practical information here, in just 300 pages packed with first class photographs, clear diagrams and tables...Focal Press gives excellent value with this volume; it is a powerhouse of information on lighting for film, illuminating the nooks and crannies as well as painting the scene with flattering light." - www.shootingpeople.org "A superb reference on lighting, Placing Shadows discusses virtually everything you need to know about lighting for video...A thorough lighting glossary, including examples, illustrations and a tips section completes this book.

    I have purchased from them many times. This time, and on occasion I have had an issue with the product, but the seller is graceful about correcting errors. They do a huge volume and sometimes have sent the wrong book or one of their multiples that does not match the description. With swift communication, the seller always resolves the issue. The shipping speed & packaging is excellent. I will continue buying from this seller!
