In this book, Mowbray covers the basics, then takes you through the creation of sixty images, breaking each one down to show how the lighting was set up as well as the underlying creative and technical thoughts. Ever wonder if speedlights could work for lighting everything at your studio? Acclaimed wedding and portrait photographer Michael Mowbray asked himself that very question several years agoand the answer was a resounding Yes!” He now use speedlights for 99.9 percent of his award-winning portraiture both in the studio and on location
Good book, great information, lousy images Scott Wilson The technical content in the book is very good. The author does a great job in his writing and explanations. It's always nice to have the lighting diagrams included and he did a great job on his diagrams. I purchased the Kindle version and found the images to be a huge disappointment though. They are very small in the reading part and when double clicked to expand like every other Kindle book, the resolution is horrible to the point the image is so distorted you can't see shadowing or features. I'm now wondering if the printed version is any better. This is not my first Kindle photography book but the first with bad expanded images.. Mr. Mowbray's book is as detailed & well thought out as each of his illustrated prize winning portraits are! Wow, Michael thank you for a fantastic "recipe book" for the Off Camera Flash (OCF) lighting practitioner (Strobist)! It is superb with insights and how to info for each dramatic shot, over 60 I went out and found your other OCF book "The Speedlight Studio: Professional Portraits"!! Loved it!. "Excellent small-flash resource!" according to Deb L. I just finished reading this book and I found it to be a fantastic resource! I'm a Nikon shooter, and although the book is written with Canon references, the concepts are still the same.There are many, many examples with full color images and shot set-ups that really help you to understand how to make the picture.Mr. Mowbray lets us eavesdrop on his thought process as he takes us from concept to completion--what a great way to learn!
