Review Quotes: "The author's wide experience helps in bringing in lots of examples which do their job well in illustrating the capabilities (and pitfalls) involved with any particular light source. Perhaps the most important message that's communicated is just how much lighting choices affect the look of your photography, and, that they can be an integral part of developing your own photographic style."--North Light Image
