Light, Science & Magic: An Introduction to Photographic Lighting
by Fil Hunter and Paul Fuqua
To be fair, I haven't finished this book yet. But I don't know if I'll ever learn all it has to share. If there is a book on photographic lighting that could be called the Bible of Lighting, then this would have to be the book. No, you won't find any fancy setups. This is not a recipe book of lighting. There are others that fall into that category, and I'm certain I'll recommend one or two. But this book is in a class all by itself. It will provide you an education on just how light and photography merge. Instead of guessing, you'll be armed with a textbook of knowledge. Whether you shoot with available light, or flash, this my friend, is a book you won't be disappointed with.
