Review "If you like a book that demystifies its profession this is the one for you. The well-known lighting cameraman is nothing if not opinionated but always engagingly so. A refreshing unfussiness characterises his approach to his work, whether he is discussing lighting a feature film, documentary,ad, play for theatre, or filming an opera. Throughout there is much about his love of classical music. It should be required reading for all cameramen and obligatory for film school students who want to learn about the haphazard nature of the film industry." -- Jim Ballantyne, FOCAL International Autumn 1998
