This book would be helpful if my upholstery projects were limited to dining room chairs and footstools - a little too basic for me.

Interior Design Illustrated is a pictoral book with easily understood text.  This book gives the reader a chance to learn the basics of Interior Design. I recommend this book for any Interior Design school to be used in  their course.

This book is awesome! I love that it has a key at the top of each page, letting you know whether it's a low cost shoot "$" up to "$$$$" which is more costly. The book is well-organized and written in a manner that you feel like you're asking an expert friend for advice or guidance. There are so many new ideas and settings, it makes you want to run out and try them all. They put the before and after pictures, and were very descriptive (all the way down to the exact equipment used) to tell you how to set everything up. By far the best lighting book I've read, thank you Kevin Kubota!

This book is very good in teaching the basic of LAMP system, and it's useful to read before to learn deeply each separate single topics.

I love this book. I have a French Provencal Styled brick house with a hip roof and I found several d&eacute;cor tips for the outside of the house I plan to incorporate. The inside d&eacute;cor and color coordination suggestions, are very helpful, as I'm about to have several pieces of furniture re-upholstered. This is a great book for reference and inspiration, one of my top 'go-to' books for decorating. Enjoy!

I really like this book. It describes different equipment as well as the different aspects related to lighting like rigging, safety and logistics. I think the interviews are very useful because it gives different points of view. Another thing I like is all the information given for lighting design and how to do the cues for the music.

This is a great book for the novice decorator or for kids.  It is basic and fun and has lots of cute ideas inside.  It would be great to use for kids projects, birthday party ideas, etc

Great detailed book on lighting design, with lots of pictures showing how you might light the various rooms of your home, with lots of technical information on different kinds of light.  Not a perfect book -- I can't say it's actually taught me good lighting design sense, which would be the ultimate goal -- but it contains lots of good information.

This is an excellent book full of helpful tips and questionaires. Walks you step by step through the decorating process, including helping the  novice determine their decorating style. Even has some simple projects that anyone could do. Has some great buying tips as well. This book is a must have for anyone wishing to decorate inexpensively but tastefully.

You will need to find supplier in USA, but mostly stuff used in the projects are easy to find in hardwear store like home depot. great book.

David Busch has published a number of books which describe specific camera functionality, lighting and other photographic technologies.  This book, for the novice, is a good introduction to lighting techniques.

I first became aware of what effect lighting has when I watched a critical review of Casablanca. While the movie was running, at this point the reviewer would point out how lighting accented Ingrid Bergman's cheeks. At that point he would point out how lighting drew your attention to Bergmand and Bogart while dark shadows in the background filled in the image but down played its importance.

Over time I began to learn more about lighting as I tried different things (generally photographing industrial equipment). I learned, slowly, that you put a light here to do this, and one over there to do that. I bought a few books on the subject, but I never tied it together.

Now here in one volume is the whole story. From types of lights, to where shadows should fall on a models face, from patterns in the room background to doing highlights where and how you want them. The back cover of the book says it's User Level is from Novice to Advanced. That's right. I think everyone will get something useful out of this book.

Pretty great book. While I already know most about what I need electricity wise this little book has some nice tricks in it, wiring multiple switches, various lighting set ups, some trouble shooting. I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to do a little DIY

There was a time where interior design was for those in the business or were able to afford to buy iconic furnishing or hire someone. This book opened my eyes beyond those barriers - you to can decorate your home, particularly small apts in NYC. You don't have spend alot of money, it does not have be matchy-matchy or just one note style.

This book educated me on how to bring what you have together, how to develop your own style, how to recognize iconic pieces, how to work a room.

This book is for novices. Since buying this book, I found similar genre, which I have out-grown, but still come back to this book for reference, and it is a great source of ideas.

The binding and photo quality are very, very good.

This book does not live up to it's title. If you are looking for a technical reference book to all aspects of studio lighting, lighting equipment, technology and techniques then you will be disappointed.
This book gives simple examples of different subjects and genres with nice photo's and a basic description of the lighting setup involved.
I'm only an amateur and found this book disappointing as I thought I'd find all my answers and learning in one book. I'm going to have to purchase individual books on studio lighting get the technical help I was looking for.
