I have received some questions asking me what kinda books and blogs do i read/follow. So rather than answering individual comments, I’m gonna go ahead and do a post instead..
DVDs/Videos
Two of my favorite DVDs are the Strobist and One Light Workshop DVDs. Strobist by David Hobby is a 8 DVD pack, which takes you through a whole workshop with Mr. Strobist himself. Yes, its long, but those 8 DVDs are filled with stuff that would change the way you think about flash photography.
OneLight Workshop by Zack Arias focuses on mastering ONE flash and how you could create amazing photographs with just ONE light. To tell you the truth, if you could master one flash, you could master any number of flashes and be in control at the same time. Both these DVDs are awesome and a must have for anyone who is interested in small flash/studio strobe lighting. If you don’t have access to their DVDs or cant wait to get them and still want a massive dose of information visit their blogs right now.
OneLight Workshop by Zack Arias
Books
Something thats ALWAYS there for inspiration and for providing many many moments of clarity during frustrating complex lighting scenarios….
The Moment it Clicks & The Hot Shoe Diaries by Joe McNally
If you’re gonna go and order/buy a couple of books tomorrow, these two should be on the top of you flash/lighting/photography reading list.
I have gone through a lot of other books as well, but these two have to be my favorites.
I have learnt so much from David, Zack and Joe over the years and I am sure you will be blown away with their knowledge & experience. If you ever do get a chance, i would strongly urge you to attend their workshops, if you are serious about flash photography.
