Excellent topic of photo interest but short on details. I found that several parts of the book strayed from the book’s title. Did not believe that the book was as good of a source of information as it could have been.
Rating: 2 / 5

As someone who knew very little about flash photography this book (On-Camera Flash Techiques for Digital Wedding and Portrait Photography) has been a tremendous help. It is not overwhelming filled with jargon and there are heaps of examples to prove points in the text. I have found it to be extremely helpful for a not-quite-novice photographer.

Although the use of a flash is a virtual necessity at most weddings, often the photographer does not have the requisite knowledge or experience to get the most out of their equipment. This book provides a good foundation in the use of on-camera flash and describes, in detail, advanced techniques that can significantly improve the quality of the final products. I have been shooting professionally for five years, but have never attempted to photograph a wedding (until my daughter asked me to photograph hers). I found this book to be very useful in providing me with basic information relating to evaluating the existing light, choosing the proper equipment, achieving proper exposure, mastering the technical aspects of flash photography, and applying the best techniques to achieve quality results. I gave the book four stars because there is a bit of repetition and the list price is somewhat high for a work that is essentially an overview of the subject. However, if the final images turn out the way I hope and the techniques prove themselves to be sound, I reserve the right to add another star to the rating.

Neil is not only an awesome photographer but the undisputed king of onboard flash and the master of the BFT (black foamie thing). This book is a great read for those wanting to master using flash ever so subtly to add a kiss of light to photos without that tacky “flashed” look. Filled with awesome shots and technical detail. Highly recommend!
