Review: I'm an animation student, looking to specialise in pre-production. This is probably my favourite textbook of all time. I'm the kind of person who needs to understand something before I can apply it to my own work, and this book gives really clear, simple explanations about the science behind light and how this affects how an object may look. It's basically a science textbook written for dumb artists like me who couldn't understand physics back in school. I would highly recommend any learning artist reads this- lighting is how you show an object's form and structure without relying on lines, if you don't learn it your art will look flat and unrealistic (unless that's how you want your art to look, but even then I would still argue that you got to learn the rules of lighting first before you break them).

Review: Need to understand light, this should be your primer. Useful for traditional and digital painting as well as photography (my profession). 3D lightning too I assume.
