Review: Typical Scot Kelby book,makes it all sound deceptively simple with his easy to understand guide to what went where, how it was done etc etc. Also as usual it leaves you wanting more...... As always it really does pay to read the book from beginning to end. It may make some people ( like me ) jealous of the options Scot has because of the variety of kit he has at his command. The response to this is that there are other ways of approximating the looks he produces ( especially in the U.S. where accessories and equipment for photographers seem to be more common) AND photography for the serious hobbyist has NEVER been cheap. I must admit that the retouching section of each of the examples was the least interesting to me, as I bought this book to stimulate my lighting set ups. It did. Job done. Purchase vindicated. For retouching I would recommend Professional portrait retouching techniques.... by the same author.(Professional Portrait Retouching Techniques for Photographers Using Photoshop) By Kelby, Scott (Author) Paperback on 24-Mar-2011 If you are new to using lights on a shoot... buy this book. If you are an old hand.... seriously consider getting this book if you like others from the pen of Mr Kelby

Review: A photography book that costs £30 should have a much better print quality than this. This is either a dodgy reprint or a rip-off. Toilet paper thin pages and washed off colours.

    Description: Scott Kelby, the world's #1 best-selling photography technique books author, is here with a new concept in photography and flash books | ??one that's designed from the ground up to get you straight to whatever it is you need to do with a flash right now, get your answer fast, and get you back to shooting with your flash. Thanks to inexpensive flashes that are compatible with all major camera manufacturers (such as Yongnuo), owning and using a flash is now easily within reach for nearly all shooters, whether you're a hobbyist or aspriring professional.

And in addition to knowing how to use your flash, you need to know which modifiers and triggers you might need, and you need to learn use them quickly. That's why this book was created: to quickly get you to the technique, the setting, or exactly the right thing you need to do right now to improve your work. Here's how it works: When you need to know how to do a particular thing, you turn to the chapter where it would be found, find the thing you need to do (it's easy, each page covers just one single topic), and Scott tells you exactly how to do it just like he was sitting there beside you, using the same casual style as if he were telling a friend. That way, you get back to shooting fast. This isn't a book of theory, full of confusing jargon and complicated concepts. This is a book on which settings to use, and exactly how and when to use them. The whole book is written in Scott's plain-English, down-to-earth style, which makes the experience more like the two of you are out together on a shoot. It's time to fall truly head-over-heels in love with your flash, so you can start creating the type of images with your flash that you've always dreamed of, and this is the book that can take you there.
