Book Review

Shaping Light by Glenn Rand and Tim Meyer is probably the most thorough book on light modifiers. They begin by explain the basic concepts governing light and the types of light available. Then each chapter focuses on a specific class of modifier. This would be a great book for a student or beginner photographer especially if it could be paired with a hands on class to see what the authors are talking about first hand.
