Alekan is one of the finest cinematographers aorund. He's in his 80's by now, I'm sure, and worked as recently as 1988 when he shot the German- French (and Dutch?) production: Wings of Desire. He worked with Jean Cocteau years and years ago on Beauty and the Beast. Alekan's book was published in 1984 by Sycomore in Paris, and titled: Des lumiers et des ombres. I do not know if it was ever published in an English translation. The book does indeed deal with lighting for cinematography and consists mainly of illustrations.
