The Flash Book

Scott Kelby, the world's number one best-selling author of photography technique books, presents a new concept in photography and flash books. This book is designed from the ground up to get you straight to whatever it is you need to do with a flash right now, providing instant answers so you can get back to shooting.

Thanks to inexpensive flashes compatible with all major camera manufacturers (such as Yongnuo), owning and using a flash is now accessible to nearly all photographers, whether you're a hobbyist or aspiring professional. Once you own a flash, you'll likely have many questions about creating the light you need—questions on camera and flash settings, direction, quality, and quantity of light. Besides using your flash, you'll want to know which modifiers and triggers you might need, and learn to use them quickly.

That's why The Flash Book was created: to swiftly guide you to the technique, the setting, or the precise thing you need to do right now to enhance your work.

Here's how it works: When you need to know how to do something specific, turn to the relevant chapter, find the topic (it's simple, as each page covers just one single topic), and Scott explains exactly how to accomplish it as if he were right there with you, using his casual style as if talking to a friend. This way, you're back to shooting in no time.

This is not a book of theory filled with confusing jargon and complex concepts. It is a guide on which settings to use, and precisely how and when to use them. The entire book is written in Scott's plain-English, down-to-earth style, making the experience feel as if you’re out on a shoot together.

It's time to fall truly head-over-heels in love with your flash. Begin creating the type of images with your flash that you've always dreamed of, and The Flash Book can take you there.
