Book Reviews of The Hot Shoe Diaries: Big Light from Small Flashes (Voices That Matter)
Book Review: Awesome book from the master of light
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this book this morning and am devouring the pages. At last there is a well-written book to explain the importance and complexities of light, as well as how to control it without having your own studio.
Joe's informal writing style is refreshing and I bow to his decades of experience written on these pages. He is a Nikon shooter, so don't expect to see detailed information on how to use other manufacturer's products, but I should imagine that all his technical tips should translate pretty easily to non-Nikonians. Having said that, he does stress that this isn't a replacement for your manuals; it's more of a guide on how to use any flash, he just uses Nikon as an example. This surprisingly long book (300 pages approx.) is also filled with some breathtaking photographs that are within everyone's reach.
For those of you wanting to be a people/portrait photographer and simply can't afford to shell out for studio gear (or even if you can, for that matter!), buy this book, especially at this incredible price. You honestly will not be disappointed. I, for one, would gladly have paid full price for it and still been extremely pleased.
