Flash book for photographers

Scott Kelby asked the 360 photographers who filled the room in one of the courses, "How many of you are working with the flash removed from the camera? Nikon, Canon, Youngnuo, etc." Roughly 340 hands rose high. "Okay. I have one more question, but before you raise your hands, I want you to really think about the answer. Let's see how many of you like to use it." Only four of the 360 people raised their hands. Scott was shocked. Unfortunately, the result was similar from city to city, from country to country. It seems that during the small flash revolution from 2008 to 2011, everyone bought a system flash, but the results did not live up to expectations. They weren't even near them. We don’t like system flashes, and worse, we don’t use them in many cases. But that shouldn't be the case. You just need someone to show you the real secret to beautiful, consistent, and really repeatable shots. That’s why we created Volume for Flash Book Photographers - we want to help you fall in love with the flash - and the best news is that it’s a lot easier than you think. In fact, you’ll be amazed at how easy it is, since you’re not going to learn a lot of flash dice, you don’t have to do math, you don’t have to buy a light meter (it’s not the kind of book). Instead, you’re going to learn an amazingly simple system - which Scott has been using for years - and the best thing about this system is that it’s slap simple (probably very different from what you’ve seen on the “internet,” but the system works, and once you try it, you will believe in it). The book works like this: every thought or technique is a single page, starting from scratch showing the flash settings (just touching the ones you absolutely need to know), the camera settings (Scott shares with you his own settings, which he then most often takes during photography). nor do you need to change it) and the affordable accessories you need to use the system flash like a pro. This book is not full of theory, term technicians that would confuse, and complicated concepts. This book is about what to set and how, and when to use these settings. The language of the book is simple, worded in Scott’s common sense, which makes you feel like you’re photographing together. It’s time to fall in love with your flash and start taking the flash photos you’ve always dreamed of. This book will take you there.
