A Practical Guide to Stage Lighting

covers all the basic principles of lighting design, and contributed immensely to my latest design, a huge jump in effectiveness, from my previous designs, both artistically and practically. i feel like i can eventually enter a theatrical tech program with relative confidence and ease (money permitting, *le sigh*) with the practical experience that this book provides.

This is a beautiful book on stage lighting. It'd clear, concise, and at least for me showed a systematic way to light for the stage.I learned a lot from it, and learned somethings that I knew but didn't know why.

A very complete and well-organized guide to contemporary stage lighting practices. Lots of forms and particulars for both experienced and less experienced members of the craft.

Good Reference!

If you are learning lighting design, then you need this book. It's a no-nonsense and very detailed how-to. I use it more as a handbook than anything else.

I bought this book as a Christmas gift for my son who started college this year for lighting tech/designer. Very informative and interesting book. Like the pictures.

wonderful book. Made of hours of theatres and years of experiences. I recommend this for learning and improving the skills in lighting design

Textbook arrived quickly and was accurately described.

Excellent book. It is a complete and exhaustive text, I highly recommend it to deepen the stage lighting.

Recommend

La maquetacion es un poco caotica pero el contenido esta muy bien

Very comprehensive and - as advertised - very practical. Everyone wants to write a lighting design text, but Steve alsogoes into a great deal of useful detail on the technology and organization of realizing a lighting plot. Lots of useful tips and rules-of-thumb. I recommend this to any of my students who want to become Head Electricians.
