Tania Hosers 'Introduction to cinematography, learning through practice' is like film school in a book. It is an inspiring and engaging in-depth resource that, through a series of well thought out exercises, creates the perfect balance between learning the art and the craft of cinematography.
Deland Nuse, Director/Cinematographer; Lecturer, Department of Film, Television and Digital Media, UCLA
One of the most practical and useful books on the art and technique of cinematography for students and working professionals that we have. I highly recommend Tania Hoser’s book for teachers and students of cinematography.
Louise Ready-Syrat, University of Salford
There is a lot of detail in each chapter, demonstrating the writer’s experience of working on set, as well as lots of little nuances that only someone who is working in the industry would know and can pass on. So many that even I forgot many of them…!
