Suggest a book on product lighting please!

[adzy]

hello everyone, I was wondering if you could suggest a good book on Product

Lighting. I do already have the bible- 'Light, Science and Magic'. I was

wondering if there was any other book you could suggest.

 

I am looking for something similar to Chris Grey's book on portrait

photography. Actual on-hand tips (ex. white card behind bottle to give it a

glow), examples, lighting schemes.

 

In terms of skill, i would rate myself as an advanced amateur. You can see some

of my photos at http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=218002 if you care.

 

Thanks,

 

Azi

I'm sure it's out of print, but you may be able to locate a copy: KODAK "Professional Photographic Illustration".

Go to Strobist.com they have a bunch of books that they recommend or forget the books and just read the site.

I have found some books published by focal press very helpful. i remember seeing one on Lighting for products where they have a commercial shot of a product and a detailed lighting diagram together with technical specs.

Thank you everyone for the replies.

 

I do check Strobist from time to time. They dont have any suggestions other light science and magic whcih I already have.

 

I'll take a look at the Kodak book.

Just because dittos count, I'd also like to endorse KODAK "Professional Photographic

Illustration" if anyone can find it anymore.

 

We tried to make L-S&M as esthetically neutral as possible, but there's still a stubborn

stylistic bias in there. "Professional Photographic Illustration" has a very different bias worth

looking at.
