  • Excellent

    This is definitely a very good book. I have come across his first book, and I think I have a sample somewhere! However, I will read that as well.

    In this follow up to his first book, Nick Fancher talks about how to use hard light effectively. He uses speedlights, and I like that he does this because they are light and portable. I own a few but have never used them effectively.

    Nick does give lots of ideas, and he does describe many ways and situations where they can be used effectively, and without huge gear.

    He is creative, and it shows.

    I like this book, and definitely, think it is worth buying and reading.

  • Packing light with fast primes, speed lights, and a radio trigger transforms the portrait and commercial photography workflow. And, the “shoot through” reflector hack is practical genius. This is real world stuff; it’s not about buying a bunch of expensive and impractical gear to impress other photographers. You’ll learn to use light better and make better, more expressive photos.

  • Don't Be Afraid of the Shadow!

    There have been many 'how to' photographic books written and I would include this as one of the better ones. The author has a very unique and simple way of describing technical concepts and provides many examples and photographs that enhance the written words.

    This book will help both beginners and advanced photographers in improving their own techniques using available light. Some of the material will need to be read twice but it will be a very worthy task. Mr. Fancher show how shadows can be very helpful to your photography.

  • Great practical read on perfecting your light

    This book is fantastic in may ways: Nick Fancher is a great writer with very direct no-bs-fluff style that makes reading very enjoyable. Information is broken down for easy digest. It made me rethink my approach to what I do with a camera in order to produce rather than capture interesting, innovative and high-quality photographs. Publication is also beautify designed and edited and images and diagrams make it a great tutorial.

  • Sehr gutes Buch !

    Ich habe alle 3 Bücher von Nick Fancher und jedes Buch ist empfehlenswert. In den Büchern sind keine gängigen Blitzsetups beschrieben, sondern er versucht mit minimalem Aufwand immer das beste Ergebnis zu erzielen. Man lernt wirklich sehr viel und Improvisation macht auch viel mehr Spaß als einfach nur viel Ausrüstung anzuhäufen die man dann doch nur ein oder zweimal benutzt.
    Sehr hilfreich und empfehlenswert (bezogen auf alle 3 BĂźcher), besser als alles, was ich bisher gelesen habe.
