Location Lighting for Television

The first book of its kind to introduce the problems of location lighting for single camera operators and provide an insight into the technology and techniques required to solve those problems. The approach is of a basic and introductory nature, geared toward the student and trainee cameraman. Professionals needing a refresher course on the subject will also find this an invaluable reference packed with key information, theory and practical approaches to different lighting situations.

"For me, this book comes into the category of 'I'm not sure how I ever managed without it'. It is so comprehensive that a list of the contents would virtually constitute a book review in itself.Reading though the book, it is this attention to detail that continually strikes you, making it invaluable to any lighting cameraman. All in all, I can't sum it up any better than the quote on the back cover from lighting director John O'Donnell, who says, 'Learn how to get it right first time!.'
