Incredible Book,
By
This review is from: Light Fantastic: The Art and Design of Stage Lighting (Hardcover)
Keller has done a superb job with this book. The detail with which he goes into virtually every facet of the industry and artform is staggering. The informative essays from himself or other contributors are fascinating and the book rewards the eye with A LOT of beautiful images from other lighting designers (a rare find for me these days).I do wish he went into more detail on the variations between lighting Theatre, Opera, Musicals, and Concerts however. He touches on the subject, but after being acclimatized to such incredible detail and analysis, I was left wanting more on that subject. Buy this book!!!!!

Wow,
By julzgimp (New Hampshire United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Light Fantastic: The Art and Design of Stage Lighting (Hardcover)
Wow is all I can say. This book is expensive but worth it for the photographs alone. Before I read anything I flipped through and digested all the pictures. The section on color theory is amazing. What more can I say but that this book is amazing?

Pictures are worth it,

This review is from: Light Fantastic: The Art and Design of Stage Lighting (Hardcover)
This book may not have all the LD nuts and bolts that one is looking for but the photos of the lighting are worth the cost.
