Three Books for the Lighting enthusiasts

If you're a lighting fanatic I got three books to suggest you. I red them all, they are quite easy to understand, bring a lot of solutions, ideas and practical tips, and sure teach you one thing or two about lights. Any kind of light. The author is Kirk Tuck, a photographer based in Austin, Texas, who has a great degrees of knowledge about what he does: working with lights.

Have a good reading!

Minimalist Lighting: Professional Techniques for Location Photography

My 2 humble cents. Check out this book by Kirk Tuck. Is an understandable, useful, simple and yet terrific book about the use of small location lights. He not only explains all the technical requirements, tricks and useful tips to get the best out from even the cheapest goods, but he also gives practical examples with images and drawings that explain how to practically build a successful lighting set up for many different situation

I think this is the right book for those who, like myself, love to use the small portable flash and want to get the best out of its potential
