No
that I should know the answer to, I'm sure.

But after reading it in two books recently the answer is not clear, as the resulting pictures would suggest different meanings.

When writing something like "main light was camera left, and fill reflector was camera right", does that mean as you look at the resulting image, the main light is on the left and reflector on the right? :shrug:
 
No such thing as a stupid question treeman :D as far as i am aware its with reference to you (or the photographer) looking at the image, or through the viewfinder as they set up the shot.

As a photographer I always reffered to camera right from the cameras view however as an amateur actor I was never sure what was stage left ,this caused a lot of confusion!!!
 
Hi, I read it the same as Rovers, from the photographers viewpoint behind the camera.
