The Most Fundamental Book About Light and Photography
If there is any book, and I mean ANY book about photography that you are to read, THIS IS THE ONE.
This book is the holly grail of photography books. It "teaches" the reader the fundamental behavior of light, the science behind it, and how it can be handled when shooting a picture. The approach is simple enough that the average reader can easily understand. Its style is academic, the illustrations are very clear and detailed, and it walks you through the entire spectrum one step at a time.
It is not a quick read. This is the kind of book you study and learn its material. The wealth of knowledge which you will gain is critical to any photographer who is serious about their craft.
It teaches you the behavior of light, the different types of reflection, the different surface types and their impact to reflection, and techniques on how to read the scene, assess, identify the lighting problem, and how to resolve.
This is a must have.
Nuf said.

The Best, Ever!
Everything in this book is so obviously true! But I can't believe I never saw it before!
I think this book achieves true mysticism in what it does to your brain, and I guess that's what the "magic" part of the title is about. Still, everything here is presented as solid technology: here's how light works, here's how it reflects off of different objects, now, go out and do something with this knowledge!
The fact that a metal object has the same brightness, regardless of the distance of the light, while everything else gets brighter or dimmer as the light gets closer or further away is hugely empowering. Think about that for a minute, folks: I can't move the sun, but I can change the lighting ratio by moving this camera I have in my hands.
This is the one and only classic book on this subject

* if you are a photographer - buy it! ...
Learn how light and lighting really work so thta you can create the looks and effects you want. This book explains the principles of lighting in a very easy to understand way. It does not contain a ton of lighting diagrams to copy.
Once you understand the principles, you own them. You will be able to light - with a little practice.

Information packed
The authors clearly know lighting, and they know how to present what they know. This book is packed with information from cover to cover. As clearly written as it is, I shall have to read it several times more to retain it all.

* The Best Book On Studio Lighting Fundamentals ...
This is NOT a book with a bunch of recipes for lighting specific subjects.
Instead, this is a book on what photographers really need to know to effectively light just about anything in the studio.
This book talks about types of reflections and the nature of reflected light. You will learn how to light people, very reflective metal, transparent glass, and and various combinations.
I am a professional photographer and this book gave me a better foundation on WHY to light things a particular way. I feel much more confident in my lighting skills and I think my work has improved. (If only someone would write a similar book on how to get clients to pay faster!)
The book flows from simple to complex in a very logical and easy to follow way. There are plenty of relevent diagrams and example photos too.
If you do any studio work with artificial lighting this is the very next book you should by.
