The Speedlight Studio: Professional Portraits with Portable Flash Paperback – January 13, 2015

I found this book to be amazingly informative. I know that I will be referring to it frequently as I wish to try the methods described. There's a lot here and it is not for the faint of heart. Happy shooting.

This book gave me the confidence to begin my journey into flash photography. I have been using continuous lighting for my photos for years, and while I love the WYSIWYG of hot lights, there are things you can do with strobes that are not possible with hot lights. Mobray's book not only explains how speed lights work, he gives you ways of saving some serious moola. I am now happily using speed lights as part of my repertoire. Thank you, Mr. Mobray.

There are many, many books available on using speedlights, but this one is different in a good way. The author, having completely embraced and adopted speedlights into his photography business, gives you some useful techniques that will improve your photography quickly. Definitely worth reading.

Great great book. I like the writing style, keep me interested. Lots of information about flashes(learned about the Japanese color display Nissin Di866 Mark II for Nikon, beautiful flash), triggering systems(infrared, radio, etc) Its all about Speedlight Got the Kindle version, just love it.

This an excellent, easy to follow guide to using speedlights. It's honest and straightforward, and covers a wide variety of speedlight options and approaches (eg, OEM vs off-brand, TTL vs Manual) including the pros and cons of each. It also covers the classic lighting patterns in an easy to understand manner. An indispensable guide for the aspiring strobist!

this is a great with wondeful details for accurate placing of the lights . i have read many books on this subject but this one really gives you some great recipes to create what you want and more it is not difficult reading and that cover photo really snatched my attention .

This is for the photographer focused on creating light through a true understanding of Speedlite​. I'm going to wait a few days, practice and start rereading.

Great book, and The diagrams of the various Flash setups Were very helpful. I went from knowing nothing about shooting Portraits to having a basic knowledge very quickly.

An excellent book that shows you quite literally how to set up pro-lighting arrangements with Speedlights. Admittedly you will need quite a few for some of the sets. That said, the author, although a Canon fan, quite readily uses Neewer and other Chinese clones, highlighting the price difference. A useful guide for buying equipment on a budget, as the author recommends both the equipment he uses and alternatives, A quick flick through Amazon and you'll find most of the stuff he mentions.I'm pretty experienced, but I found this book, both entertaining and informative - definitely learnt stuff.Highly recommended

What a superb book. has just the right level of information. It is pitched at the competent photographer so it is advanced. A great read and packed full of ideas about how to use speedlights. It is written around Cannon products but refers to the Nikon CLS as well. Gives great guidance on what NOT to buy. I too use 4 speedlights and a Sekonic flash meter so it makes a lot of sense to me. I have to say Amherst Media do have a lot of photography books on lighting and portraits, but this being a new book is bang up to date with the latest speedights and dispels lots of myths about the need for large power packs and studio lights.

a great little book which was very informative for me a beginner in flash light photography which did not blind you with in depth explanations but put in concise easy way of making the reader understand

OK for a novice, spend quite a lot of time explaing the odvious and and what 3rd part brands he uses

Set up my home studio according to this book. Terrific results!
