Broncolor book "Light Architecture 2", Urs Recher, English edition Literature

Our company, founded in 1958, with its three product brands, broncolor, VISATEC and kobold, has developed over the past halfcentury into a “global player” in
the international market for professional lighting systems. Today we serve three business sectors: professional photography, broadcasting/TV, and events. We chose
“50 Light-Years Ahead” as the slogan for our jubilee year in 2008. This statement also reflects our commitment for the future.



The challenge of consistently meeting your needs and repeatedly surprising you with innovations is our motivation – and light our passion. Essentially, we have much in common.
Every day and with every new assignment you are challenged to create different, surprising, more refined images. In this we want to offer you our full support. We take
advantage of every personal contact with your colleagues all over the world to ask which solutions would help them meet their daily challenges. The latest innovations
from broncolor, which regularly achieve worldwide recognition, grow from these valuable inputs and the untiring efforts of our engineers in pursuit of technological
development.

But in parallel with this spirit of innovation, the quality and reliability, that you expect in your daily work in the studio or on location, has lost none of its traditional high importance. Every unit that leaves our production facilities undergoes exhaustive functional testing.



Wherever possible, new developments are made compatible with earlier models. Systematically implemented over the years, this philosophy has enriched the broncolor
product line to such an extent that it leaves almost nothing to be desired in terms of operating convenience, long-term value and reliability. On our website, www.broncolor.
com, you will find detailed information about the entire broncolor product line. Judge for yourself! On the following pages we present the current broncolor product line.
We look forward to counting you among our satisfied customers for many years to come. And we stand by that.








In the second, revised edition of his book, the author explains his personal ideas and experiences on the subject of light. Contrary to the first edition, some pictures have been replaced and the print quality has improved decisively.

This impressive and beautiful guide features in-depth tutorials based on Urs Recher’s photographs, each illustrating a different lighting setup. The book contains 50 different examples, covering studio, mixed light and daylight shots. The visuals alone provide all the guidance one might need to recreate the shots, and the content is easily accessible for amateurs and professionals alike.

Recher also delves into the fundamentals of lighting, with easy-to-understand explanations. The final chapter of the book is dedicated to broncolor products, so you’ll not only have access to helpful photography tutorials, but quite likely the most beautiful lighting catalog you’ll ever see.

The book is available in English.
