Vanessa Joy

This is a very good book, and is a book that you can use as a reference when you are planning a shoot.

There are many scenarios that Vanessa details out. What I like is her detailed approach to actually planning the shoot, taking the first test shots without a flash, and then the results after the addition of the flash.

Another excellent thing about this book, is that she shows you pictures out of the camera, without the Photoshop magic.

Finally, she also details out possible problems.

She could have spelled out the terminology upfront. Also, I don’t understand her discomfort with the exposure triangle. The addition of the flash, as an element, does not make an exposure quadrilateral. These are minor quibbles in what is otherwise an excellent book, written in a clear, friendly style, and without going into too much technical mumbo-jumbo.

Kudos to her, and may her tribe grow.… (mehr)
