The light scalar mesons, discovered over forty years ago, became a challenge for the naive quark-antiquark model from the outset. At present the nontrivial nature of these states is no longer denied practically anybody. Two-photon physics has made a substantial contribution to understanding the nature of the light scalar mesons. Recently, it entered a new stage of high statistics measurements. We review the results concerning two-photon production mechanisms of the light scalars, based on the analysis of current experimental data.
