Harry Stanper Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) Hello! I'm looking for a book for newbie that covers modern as well as classic lighting techniques with lots of sample pictures explained on how to create moods with lighting. I don't need it to be very technical, but about what ideas are behind lighting in sample shots and how they were implemented. I've recently read this book on cinematography "The Filmmaker's Eye" by Gustavo Mercado, I liked it very much and actually looking for something similar but in terms of lighting. https://www.amazon.com/Filmmakers-Eye-Learning-Cinematic-Composition/dp/0240812174 I've read also a tad of "Lighting for Cinematography: A Practical Guide to the Art and Craft of Lighting for the Moving Image" by David Landau, but i didn't find any samples in preview of this book so i'm not sure about buying it. Thanks a lot! Edited July 13, 2017 by Harry Stanper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
