ABOUT THIS BOOK
The most common response from the photographers who contributed to this book, when the
concept was explained to them, was "I'd buy that". The aim is simple: to create a library of
books, illustrated with first-class photography from all around the world, which show exactly
how each individual photograph in each book was lit.
HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
The lighting drawings in this book are intended as a guide to the lighting set-up rather than as
absolutely accurate diagrams. Part of this is due to the variation in the photographers' own
drawings, but part of it is also due to the need to represent complex set-ups in a way which
would not be needlessly confusing.
Distances
and
even
sizes
have
been
further away, and so forth, according to the
needs of the shot. Likewise, the precise
power of the individual lighting heads or
(more important) the lighting ratios are not
always given; but again, this is something
which
can
be
"finetuned"
by
any
practicalities, and the way of the world
in general.
The book can therefore be used in a
number of ways. The most basic, and
perhaps the most useful for the beginner, is

information
compressed and expanded: and because
of the vast variety of sizes of soft boxes,
reflectors, bounces and the like, we have
settled
on
a
limited
range
of
conventionalized symbols. Sometimes, too,
we have reduced the size of big bounces,
just to simplify the drawing.
None of this should really matter, however.
After all, no photographer works strictly
according to rules and preconceptions:
there is always room to move this light a
little to the left or right, to move that light
closer or

the
lighting set-ups in here. We are however
confident that there is more than enough
information given about every single shot to
merit its inclusion in the book: as well as
purely lighting techniques, there are also all
kinds of hints and tips about commercial
realities, photographic
lighting diagrams, and to try to duplicate
that shot as far as possible with the
equipment available.
A more advanced use for the book is as a
problem solver for difficulties you have
already encountered: a

course, it can always be used
simply as a source of inspiration.

though some individual headings
may be omitted if they were

or
unavailable.
The
photographer is credited first, then
the client, together with the use for
which the picture was taken. Next
come the other members of the
team who worked on the picture:
stylists,
models,

directors,
whoever. Camera and lens come
next, followed by film. With film,
we have named brands and types,
because different films have very
different ways of rendering colours
and tonal values. Exposure comes

equipment is briefly summarised
— whether tungsten or flash, and
what sort of heads — and finally
there is a brief note on props and
backgrounds. Often, this last will
be obvious from the picture, but in
other cases you may be surprised
at what has been pressed into
service, and how different it looks
from its normal role.
The most important part of the
book is, however, the pictures
themselves. By studying these, and
referring to the lighting diagrams
and the text, you can work out how
they were done.
