Brian Drysdale Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 You need to use your full name, it's one of the forum rules. There are a number of books on the subject of lighting. You can find a list here: http://astore.amazon.com/cinematographyco?_encoding=UTF8&node=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arturo Sinclair Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 This is another excellent book not in the previous list: http://www.amazon.com/Film-Lighting-Hollywoods-Cinematographers-Gaffers/dp/1439169063/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1351563452&sr=8-3&keywords=nestor+almendros Also look at the work of great photographers and try to figure out the source of each light in the scene. It is a great exercise that will help you train your eye. Try to draw solid and simple objects (rocks, pieces of wood, metal etc) even if you don't know how to draw. It will train your eye to understand light and shadow and how it affects form, Do this every day! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
